Please: you're making me feel ill.
Perhaps someone could suggest some bikes to look for instead? Maybe used?
To the OP: cheap suspension forks are not a good idea - it's generally thought better to go with a rigid fork or a used bike. Oh - but you want cheap FULL suspension? Not a good idea - the handling will suck. You'll find the bike harder to steer, harder to turn and brake precisely - but easier to crash and more likely to break down. Unless you enjoy bruises, sprains and wasted effort, then go for a hardtail or all rigid bike. Or spend big bucks.
