Default Koni kits - what springs

Does anyone know who makes the springs for koni's? Have they changed over the years?

If you buy from the Koni importers they sell them with a matched set of springs from a company in Halifax. I have the address somewhere. Im sure they used to be branded as "Rock" or something like that. That was the case last October anyway.

If a set is sent with AVO springs its because a company/tuner has matched 4 konis with a set of AVO springs as a marketing ploy.

Koni themselves advise ROC springs, but lots of people run different springs on their Koni's, as Koni don't make springs.

intresting. The ride on mine is far too firm. It's on Monroe's but with shit Pi springs which have collapsed at the back i think, it's far too low. Wanted something that gave a reasonable ride.
