I'd personally look for an air fork vs the coil that one has.
ROCKSHOX Recon Silver TK (1.5 to 1 1/8" Tapered Steerer) CROWN: Forged 6061 T-6 hollow aluminum, STANCHION: 32mm tapered wall steel, Satin Nickel, BLADE: Magnesium, 15mm Maxle, TRAVEL:100mm, Coil, W/External rebound, BarMounted PopLoc REMOTE lockout
What type of MTB does your friend have? It may be a good idea to get something similar, not all MTBs are the same.
