Definitely go to max preload and max compression damping. Set rebound to 4 clicks out from max.
Then go get a spring rated for your weight. The standard spring is OK for riders up to about 14st in kit. Yes, feeble but a fact.
The Hyperpro ain't bad but you need something a bit firmer again. Straight rate, not progressive, and have the shock overhauled (new gas and oil) when you have the spring changed. You need the rebound damping to be at its best to cope with the stronger spring.
