I guess it's what happens when you buy second hand forks...maybe it was defective though?
At least it's still usable. Just no front brake.
Can I get say...Dirt jumper or Drop off lowers, and will they fit my Z1 fork? The bike shop I went to today was going to charge me 275 + tax to get new lowers...

No lifetime warranty for the casing? They should offer it i reckon because the rest of the fork is in tact and working fine.

I'd still suggest getting them. I think mine was defective. I was only running a front mechanical disc brake, not a crazy powerful Hydro. And my pads are almost toast too...
The fork is still great, I just can't mount a disc on it. My style of riding was mostly street/trials, so I doubt that was too great for the fork.

I can go on, but seriously spell your words out and try to avoid using messed up slang. We all have to understand each other here. I can't even translate this (and to everyone else please don't I am being semi-sarastic)

The top model from suntour may be strong, but their performance is TERRIBLE!

Are you thinking about buying new lowers, or selling the fork to buy a new one. I know someone looking for a good fork, and they dont need front brakes.
