Koni Springs and Matched dampers

I can speak for this set up. Installed the Koni lowering springs and matched damper kit in my '02 Viggen Convert and am very pleased with the handeling improvement with minimal harshness. Only concern is that the front air dam is very low and I have to watch "transitions" from road into parking lots so I don't scrape the front.
As for ride harshness, I don't think it is punishing at all. I also have the larger rear anti-sway bar and 6 point subframe brace installed, so my Viggen is stiff vehicle to begin with. Sure, the ride is a bit harsher, but you don't install sport springs to get a cushy ride.
In case your wondering, I live in PA which is consistantly voted by "Long Hauler" mag (trucker mag) as having the worse roads in the nation, so I think I can compare my driving conditions as equal to or worse than yours.
Also, it is not realistic to compare the handling of a 9-5 to that of a 9-3. Entirely different carriage and set up. (Apples and Oranges)
Do you have the uprated stiffer Poly bushings? I understand from a similar discussion thread that those can give the feel of "harsher" ride?
