[QUOTE="Chris Launders, post: 79719, member: 2010"] Greg, I've been out this week with AVO, Armstrong, Koni and standard dampers, I think there may be a problem with my AVO as there is NO compression damping even by hand, it's gone back for them to have a look at, the standard and Armstrong dampers are nice and much the same as each other giving a lovely ride but the Koni is much rougher over the smaller stuff even though it has much the same performance on hard impacts such as potholes and speed humps. I'm concerned much stronger springs would compromise the ride I have as it's just the really hard braking that's the problem, but I may have to start in that direction but I'll try the inners first. The Koni was on the softest setting but adjustment only effects rebound as far as I can tell, a Thornton would be nice to try but I don't know anyone with one. [/QUOTE]
