What is the purpose of modification? What do you hope to achieve?

Suspensions have little to do with peak handling as tires represent 90% of what possible. Soft fast wearing expensive tires will out handle hard highway tires by close to 10%. Body lowering can improve things MAYBE 1-1.5% if done correctly at the expense of ride and impact harshness over bumps.

Theres not much available for the F50 so id say whatever you can get your hands on easiest is probably going to be your best bet.
