There's plenty of videos online showing how to set the rider sag, so when I replaced the OEM fork springs with the Hyperpro ones, I needed to adjust the preload as the spacers are set up for an "average" rider who's probably a bit heavier than me!
I got some PVC tubing and cut it to be shorter than the metal spacers, then stacked penny washers on top to get the same length.
I got on the bike and bounced the forks up and down a few times to get it settled, then got a friend to measure the sag whilst I balanced against a wall, after that, I took a washer out and repeated the process until I found the correct length for my weight.
Once I'd got that, I used a pipe cutter to shorten the spacers and it was sorted.
Off hand I forget how I found the correct fork oil height, but, again, I'm sure there's an answer online somewhere!
