what are we looking at? The rear looks high and the front looks low as though you're braking in the shot. If you're referring to having too little front preload then i'd recommend you first wrap a cable tie around a stanchion tube to see how much travel you're using. If you aren't actually bottoming the fork out then shes probably fine as she is.

Have you measured static and rider loaded sag?

You'd need stiffer fork springs or a smaller air gap in the forks to prevent them from bottoming whilst on the brakes.

I'm currently using all but the last 20mm of travel on my fork when braking hard in the dry and my preload is set to sag under my weight (with riding gear) by about 35mm if i remember right. That figure is recommended in my Ohlins guide thing for 'dry road race'.
