I think my '05 S3 suspension preloads are set a little too soft for my 110kg frame, especially the rear.

The bike seems to have a lighter than necessary front end, a bit same feeling as when one is riding with a passanger. Would tightening the rear preload help in this and how much should I tighten it at first to see if it helps?

I know one can measure & calculate the correct preload, but I do not have mates around to lift the bike at the moment so I think I'll try the seat of the pants method first.
