Teenage Budget Fork Dreams..

Rockshox Quadra 21R. They cost £280, which was (still is!) a lot of money for 16 year old me. They were yellow so could be mistaken for a £600 Judy at 300 yards. I was expecting motorcycle style suspension, that's not what I got. I think it was my first MTB purchase that was disappointing. Still it wasn't far away from the Marzocchi Z1 which did work how I expected and thankfully completely changed the direction of suspension forks. Even more cash though.
The Z1 for me came after i blew the damper to pieces in the Rockshox Judy C that replaced the RST's...

one of a few MTB products over the years that where stunningly game changing... (theyre hanging on the wall next to the RST's! utterly worn out)
