Default Front suspension & Renthals

Another question about the amazing suspension on the Sv lol.
I have had my K1 SV650 Curvy for about a month now and going from a 2008 Bandit 650S to the SV, I notice the suspension more than anything else (besides the wind).
I like to ride my bike quite hard and love my bends, but I find it quite annoying knowing that the bandit is a heavier bike and I felt like I could throw that around much easier.
It seems that when I'm going round a bend the suspension likes to dip and it makes the whole bike wobble, a very uncomfortable feeling indeed.

I've tried putting the rear shock on the hardest setting and it had improved but it's still a bit iffy so I want to change the front fork springs and my oil.
I weight about 9.5st.
Please can someone give me some advice on what oil & springs I should buy?

Also, if I want to put Renthal bars on my bike, what ones should I buy & what cables do I need to extend?

Thanks in advance, Kyle.
