Did you revalve the fork?

Springs alone have a hard time with the loading/unloading forces of braking.

Nope, springs don't stop dive, shock stack does.
Springs set the ride height.

Now they do help a little, if you go really stiff.

Agree with Tacoma. Big improvement in the amount of dive, and quite noticeable when on the trail going through the big bumps and whoops.
