Lowest one out there is the Black Market Tech-9. The XL is 414mm, and the short is 395mm.

As far as I know their warranty is "ok" at best. Not too much hassle, but from what I hear a bit more than other companies.

keep it, will make your bb higher. theres really no advantage to a low low fork unless you really like a low front end

It depends on what your frame was built for. Be sure to check with whoever made it and find out if the frame geometry was created for a 60mm - 80mm travel fork, or 80mm - 100mm travel fork. Then make your choice. The bike will always feel and handle better with the fork height it was designed for.

For instance, I have a 24" Union Street Bike Molly Maguire. They built the frame around an 80mm travel Sherman fork. I tried running the Tech-9 XL fork and it was horrible to say the least. Front wheel tricks were fine. Trying to bunnyhop a sidewalk crack became a mission. The super low front end made the bike feel twice as long, and aside from nose tricks was almost impossible to ride.
