Spring/Shocks Discussion

Hey guys im new to the forums so I decided to introduce myself by getting a discussion started. I want to know peoples experience with shocks and springs they have on there Range Rover county lwb. I have a 95 and I need to upgrade so this will also helping me decide which brand to go for. I personally dont off road my range rover so I want the best smooth riding springs and shocks that you can find.

Is it not air suspension?

Perhaps in far far away ,they are not!

Nope unfortunately the rather dumb previous own of this beast took it out. Guess he though fixing a minor issue was harder than getting springs put on it.

By oe do you mean oem?

Convert back to air. Driven both now and air is far superior in my opinion.

There were 2 models in production on 95. Do you have the classic or p38?

You might find most of the parts are still there and just need reconnecting?
If not, ebay is your friend. I'd buy new airbags (genuine Dunlop as they're not that expensive) but most other bits from ebay.

Ill take a look only problem is im not sure what all parts go into the air suspension. Ik that the controls in the car still work as in the button lights up

If he's stateside he might be able to get the Arnott springs cheap.

This is definitely something I will consider as long as the price is not gonna be insane... Does anyone have a link to a page that explains the parts of the air suspension, where they are located, etc.

Thank you. Im gonna drop the air supply unit when i get a chance might be this weekend to see if all the parts are inside. Anyone know if there is a way to test most of the parts before hooking the system completely back up? Such as like testing to make sure the compressor still works good, etc.
