Just out of intrest what settings are your Koni's on?
That's why they're adjustable you muppet

You need to experiment with what you think is best suited to your roads and driving style.
If they are close, but not quite there, stick the rears on the mid setting and then adjust the fronts to match. If they are way to soft for you, then wack them straight to full hard on the rear and then experiment with the front until you are happy.
I must be getting old, as I drove a Sapphire 4x4 with brand new Ahmed springs and Koni dampers - wound up to full hard, and I was convinced it was on coilovers, as the ride was too firm for the road

The only thing I don't like about the AVOs is that the adjusters sieze up after one winter and the spring rates are way too hard on the rear and too soft for the front for the road and cause a pogo-ing effect if driven hard down back roads. Obviously it is easy to rectify this side of things with speccing different springs than they normally supply, but I think the Gaz equivalents are slightly better made and cheaper.
