Uprated internal springs and an anti dive brake kit. Throw in some BGM dampers for looks.

MB springs ( not cheap but recommended wholeheartedly). Escort or Scootopia dampers. In my opinion, with a decent rear shock, that’ll be good for a sporty scooter.

....and don't under estimate the importance of decent tyres at the correct pressure...

You can't beat a std Lince front end but as said the right tyre at the right pressure makes a hell of a difference

I ride on Michelin s83 with 20 psi front (and 30 psi rear) but everyone has their personal preference.

Great set up for a plodder
Dunlop Scootsmarts 20 PSI front 30 rear if you want to go fast

...oh and standard springs, casa anti dive disk, BGM dampers dialled right up. But make sure your fork links are perfectly level, shim the rods if not. Otherwise it’ll be a waste of time.
