Yes, in my experience performance was OK, not close to KW, Ohlins & Penske and they did require regular re-builds, as I found that the oil degraded in them relatively quickly, however this was around 8 years ago.
Factory support was good and components were easily sourced from Avo and other 3rd party suppliers to allow self refurbishment/re-oiling.

i have avo's on my mk1
not having them on track properly yet i cant really comment as i'v only been dicking around cones and road use
happy with them so far though and they are not uncomfortable for road use when softened up either

AVO's have got a lot better recently as a result of a very good consultant, Andy Dawson.
