Hi,
I have a specialized hardrock with RST Gilla Plus T7, 100mm, Cro-Mo steerer, 30mm stanchions, coil MCU w/ preload adjust forks.
My mate has just said that they are not the best' would you recomend a recreational Mbkr like me get a new set? The ones that I look at are about the price of my bike !!!

Your RST fork is limited ... but, were you unhappy with your fork before your mate mentioned it?
If you aren't doing the type of riding that needs a better fork, yet, then save your money for the time being ... some forks probably cost TWICE what your bike cost!
So, start to watch eBay for a used MARZOCCHI fork (my recommendation, FWIW) -- it will be considerably lighter & may have more travel and/or better rebound characteristics -- expect to pay at least $100 for a good, used fork ... maybe less, easily more.
