The rear shock is fine until it needs a service you will struggle to service a 5th element shock it will have preload and rebound and maybe some pedal platform and those super t forks are. Really simple but great if your a heavy rider though the stantions may be small and flex they have preload and rebound adjust although it may be only adjustable from the inside on some marzocchi forks frames looking good also Smile I would ask for more specs like what brakes cranks ect

You will be fine with them being that weight I'm 126lbs and there plush and reliable if you find them to soft (you won't) put thicker oil inside them Smile

4 meters to flat? !?!?
That's all bad, when I was your age I used to do large drop to flat regularly now 15 years later my knees buckle on occasion walking and they ache all the time my back is messed up .
Go find some nice landings and save your body .
Plus you can go bigger then.....
