Default Gold Emulator Tuning Experience

The setup I got from RaceTech suggested the blue springs with 2.5 turns of preload and 4 holes and I get WAY too much dive! I added the FXLR dual disc setup to my bike at the same time that I did the front suspension work and the slightest pull on the lever initiates more dive than it should, even at low speeds. I would also prefer if the forks were firmer overall.

I weigh 250lb and ride slightly aggressively. Should I move up to the yellow spring and 3.5 turns of preload? Leave the blue spring and max out the preload at 6 turns?

Thanks

Install heavier springs.
