Trail bike suspension set-up for DH day.

I have a day trip to Cwmcarn uplift coming up, first time riding it on my full-sus a 150/140 trail bike. I've ridden Cwm a few times on my hardtail, first time on my new bike.
Would I be right in saying that when setting up a trail bike for DH to drop a few psi for extra plushness/sag and speed up the rebound to prevent packing down on the high speed repetitive impacts... or just leave it at my standard sag/rebound settings?
Is there a way to prevent front fork dive when I don’t have high/low speed compression adjustments.
I generally understand how to dial suspension but I’m no expert.
Thanks.

if it is working fine I would leave it."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

From memory the only point of the run that takes any considerable front wheel braking is going into the tunnel. Never figured out how some riders treat the wall like a berm.
