I've picked up an XCountry (2008/Black) recently and looking at options to upgrade the forks. The bike needs a bit of work as its rattly looking even with only 20k miles and the plan is to rebuild as much as possible over the winter. The current fork seals need replacing anyway as oil is dripping out.
Seems to be a few options for the forks including new Hyperpro springs (about £300 all in), Marzocchi Shivers and WP 43mm forks.
I've spotted these on eBay and the numbers sound about right (54mm upper and 57mm lower). By the time the caliper bracket is included they might work out a little more expensive than getting the current forks rebuilt with the Hyperpro springs.
