Rear suspension settings too soft?

Rear suspension settings too soft?
So I was playing around this weekend and adjusted both my compression and rebound about 1/4 turn harder on both. It was like impossible to steer at low speeds, so I thought I put it back down 1/4" softer. But today driving to work, it seems like I'm bottoming out the front, like if I stop too fast with the front brake it scuffs I assume the front wheel fairing? So I guess I need to put it back harder some, but I kinda like the softness now for the bad city streets. Can I just adjust the front suspension compression to compensate? Or am I going to be now throwing the whole think out of whack? I thought I read people mainly adjust the rear settings and leave the front alone? I didn't think I made any huge adjustments, but I can REALLY feel the difference. I can rock it back and forth on the shocks pretty easily like a teeter totter, not really that much, but you get the idea
I weigh 200 lbs, need to change the preload i assume to something around 5 or 6... Does preload affect the tension of the spring, i.e. like a stronger spring if you change the preload?
