Fork springs

[Falcon 269]

Fazer forks are a problem and not cheap to improve, unfortunately.

This is true.  It's certainly not cheap to resolve the inherent flaws in the damping circuits, particularly the high speed compression side of things. 

You can, though, improve the spring rate(s).  The stock dual rate springs are too soft in the first part of the stroke but too stiff in the second.  Fitting linear rate springs matched to your weight is one way of fixing this but I also think the Hyperpro progressive springs do a good job because their spring rates are different.  It's the route I would take if I had to revert to stock forks again.
