Hi Gary
I know Dale (Dales Resto) does a variety of poundages (330,450,650) in fronts (I'm running his 330 fronts and his rear leafs [leaves??] in my Alpine...the fronts are a little too firm given engine weight but the ride height sits nicely).

Not too sure how they compare with your local supplier price wise but it looks as though you have similar poundage options.

Here's a link to Dale's parts page FYI

Cheers, Tom

Are you sure that you haven't set front dampers too stiff? I run 500+ front springs with no problems.
