Delphi And SME Tonearms

I've just purchased SME IV tonearm for my Oracle Delphi turntable. This tonearm is rather heavy (but man it is beautiful!). I wonder if I should change the spring on tonearm side (rear spring on the right side of the turntable...the tonearm side..) to the stiffer spring (I belive it is white one. I have it from the Oracle Maintanance Kit I ordered two months ago).
I noticed a lot of people here have the same combo: Delphi and SME tonarm. I would appreciate your suggestions!
Thanks in advance~

I had the same issue after upgrading to a Graham Phantom tonearm on my Oracle Delphi MKV.

I emailed Oracle and they recommended the appropriate spring color combination.

Oracle's recommendation for the Graham Phantom was:

Left Front: Yellow
left rear: Red
Right: Blue

I was able to balance the table suspension, perfectly, with this combination.

Why not call Oracle?
