My original off-the-shelf shock/spring configuration was 12kg in the front and 14/kg in the rear. I recently revalved my rear shocks so that I can use 20kg springs. I've been told the revalve also provides stiff "autocross" valving. Do I _need_ to revalve the fronts to provide the same stiff valving or is it suffcient to leave it alone?

Most likely - the springs and dampers are something of a set in that they each effect each other, and they should be matched for optimal performance. However, just what optimal will be will depend on alot of factors (your car's balance, what you want you balance to be, your driving style, etc). It is possible that things are set up just right... but most likely, your front dampers are probably too soft for the upgraded springs and you may find the car's balance to not be as you expect.
