This picture describes all...
That's the last condition of my RS Sektor R Coil. For now, my plan is trying to repair it first. But, I have plan to buy new fork to replace this...but guys, I need help to decide for my next fork, and the candidates on my head are Suntour Auron and RS Sektor Gold. Those are pretty similar in price, but due to the experience with Sektor, I consider the Auron more than Sektor..So, what do you think guys? Or if you have other alternatives, please tell...
Thanks...

My experience with Suntour is, that there's a huge difference in quality and the dampening isn't very good. Some of their forks feel nearly frictionless at first (some are just horrible out of the box) but on the trail they are quite slow and harsh.
I had a Sektor for 2 years and I was really happy with it, I rode a lot in the wet and on the local IXS Cup DH track and maybe changed lubrication oil 1-2 times a year, that was all it needed.
I've been riding a Pike since last year and it's obviously on another level, but in my mind the Sektor is the best "entry level" fork there is.
That being said, you can't really go wrong with Rock Shox. I'd say fix your first if you can, but if you have to get a new one, keep an eye out for people selling their SR as a take off- because they're uncomfortable with the brand. You're liable to get a good deal on a fork that's been very lightly, or possibly never, used.
