Suspension fork to replace 80mm RS Sid Race

Hi,

I have a Rocky Mountain Instinct that came with a Rock Shox Sid Race 80mm fork. I have never loved that fork - its too flexible and the suspension action was never great no matter how much I tried to dial it in.

I want to replace it with a something that is plush, stiff and doesn't mess up my bike's geometry to much. I like the Fox Float forks, but they are 130-140mm which will screw up the bike's handling.

Any suggestions as to a fork that would be say 100mm and meet my needs?
