1" lift rear only - Update
Range Rover Blues:
"police spec" front springs, depending on who you ask, are either standard V8 or Diesel springs, diesel springs being H/D spec for a V8.
But then the Red/White rear springs are also H/D spec for a pre-EFi RRC anyway, so all "police spec" means is H/D.
EFi rears were progressive, so I'm told.

So I have seen several times with my own eyes. Its the green/pink and pink/purple springs factory fitted to post 1985 RRC which are progressive. IIRC at some point in the 1990s the springs changed again, but I'm not sure what to.
What spec ar disco police springs? The red/whites are meant for a RRC which still has a self level fitted on the rear. I have before now loaded up a RRC on red/whites after the SLU was removed and lets just say it was interesting, driven steadily it made the delivery, but if you plan on carrying any weight I would definantly recomend a stiffer spring. Red/whites though are a nice spring when off road and without the pay load.
From experiance just chaning a pair of dampers on an axle at a time is ok.

Unless i am told otherwise i am gonna replace with OEM standard springs but change the Shocks to Pro-comp. About a months time.. No doubt i wont be able to wait so maybe friday.... :dance:

Just fitting new standard springs will make it better.

You're right of course. As a guide, lifted springs are often quoted as plus 25% on a Disco and plus 35% on a RRC, for the same spring (rears). The difference is how much softer the RRC is due to having the SLU, also the Disco has a higher MAM than RRC despite being the same thing under the skin.
