I assume it got something to do with the suspension travel or lenght. If I get the non-corrected one, will it lower the stand over height of my bike?
Please bear with me. I'm a novice.
A "suspension corrected" rigid fork is one designed to keep the front of your bike at the height it would be at with a suspension fork (the exact height is a little hard to determine, that would depend upon whether you used a 80mm travel fork, or a 100mm fork, etc.).

A "non-suspension corrected" fork will typically be shorter in length, and will lower the front of your bike. The overall standover height might be lowered a little also, but basically your frame will be "low in front", which could affect handling.

You probably want a "suspension corrected" fork.
