Range Rover Blues:
I don't think Procomps are alone in rusting at the top of the piston, it is annoying though.

dod51e:
I had ProComps on my last RRC and fitted them to the current one just over a year ago.  Neither car has showed any problems.  As for the rear springs you can specify heavier duty ones.  I have these currently.  They do restrict the articulation but if on-road manners and load carrying is your prime concern then they are a good choice (blue Beamachs).

Jonny Boaterboy:
I replaced all 4 dampers with genuine L.R. about 2 years ago and have had no problems. I do think sometimes they could do with been a little stronger, firmer as over bumpy rough road surface the Range Rover does not seem "solid" there seems to be alot of "bounce" Next time round I'm going for Bilsteins. I had an Old Man Emu stearing damper on to try and calm my stearing wobble down.... which it did a bit. I then change it for a Bilstein and it's now gone and the steering is alot lighter so it's Bilsteins all round for me

Range Rover Blues:
Jonny, don't you have EAS :-k if so you can't fit longer dampers.

I wish I knew what brand of dampers are on my sister's TDi, it's the nicest ride I've experienced.  they are yellow, that's all I know.

They are not the only dampers that rust. The rough country dampers that I fitted to the current RRC also rusted in the top section. One difference between how both were treated though was the procomps alsways had the plastic boots fitted to them and to start with the RC didn't. After a few miles the RC showed sights of damage to the exposed chrome (stone chips while on road?) before getting boots fitted.
