Sunline everything, bars included. You bars look like they have super rise on them. I can't tell for sure from the angle the pic is at though. Sunline bars come with next to no rise. And a lower ride up front in the cockpit will help a lot. Those eight inch travel forks come tall, so I would suggest tring to lower it a lot.

Just ride that f*ckin bitch down the hill... If something breaks in the long run, that's the time you need replacements cuz you can't ride a rig with broken parts... Leave it just as is and go out and f*ckin ride!!!!

you can get fox 5.0 new for 475, but people sell them brand new or way cheaper,they feel way better than the 4.0 w/ more ajustments,but i would wait a little until you really need it

definitely leave the lock-ons on. leave you bike how it is and go give er hell. if you are new to this it will be a while before you even push that bike close to what it can handle.

i just checked and they are shimano deore xt
I would give them a chance to wear in before you replaced them. Brakes start around $250 from a bike shop, plus installation (if you don't know what codes are I'd leave it to the pros). XT is pretty solid stuff, so give them a chance before you replace them. Take it back to where you bought it and get them to take a look at the front brake, it may just need an alignment or something else minor.

The other thing you can do is clean the disc with some rubbing alcohol.
