I've just had the air suspension on my 94 Range Rover converted to coil springs by my local independent, who used the Britpart kit. The rear shock absorbers also needed renewing, so the garage has replaced them with a pair of Armstrongs, part number STC2831. However, on checking the part numbers, it looks to me as if STC 2831 shocks are for air suspension (which I no longer have) and the correct ones for coil spring suspension are RTC4639. Can anyone tell me the difference between the two types, and whether it matters that STC 2831 have been fitted? On the short journey home the rear suspension felt harder to me than I would have expected, feeling less compliant than the coil sprung TDI Range Rover (same build year, similar mileage) that I often drive.
