i've done a good few SV front ends and each one of them has needed the rebound holes welded.

dont bother with 15w and get 20w or even 30w instead. you need to suck out and replace much less oil to get same effect. remember that you need to let the oil mix till the proper effect is gained. dont go mad as the heavier the oil the slower (hard) the compression will also be. work on about 30ml at a time.

TBH most front ends i have done all work out to around 10w once the rebound holes are welded.

BTW did you cut the top spacers for the new springs?
