Do you know the rate of your existing springs? Perhaps they are of the "heavy duty" variety that really increase ride height and stiffness. In that case, softer and shorter springs would be better.

Colin, where are you based, since it might make sense for you to go and look at either other range rovers with different suspension set-ups or visit a good independent and get them to talk you through the alternatives (one of which might be converting back to air for example, depending on what was removed when it was converted to springs).
Dingocroft are good as recommended - they are in High Wycombe but there are obviously others and it sounds to me like you should make a choice other than remotely.
You could try the Range Rover Register, particularly if they have a meet local to you, to see lots of options in one place, not much to join and you might get it back in insurance discounts
