coil spring conversion seems very high and uneven

i have only had my range rover for a week.
95 4.0 se standard 5 spoke alloys with 245/70/16 tyres.
i have been wondering why there is a gap of

drivers side front 5" from top of tyre to bottom of wheel arch
passenger side front 6" from top of tyre to bottom of wheel arch
drivers side rear 5" from top of tyre to bottom of wheel arch
passenger side rear 6" from top of tyre to bottom of wheel arch

measured from floor to middle of wheel arch
drivers front 80"
passenger front 82"
drivers rear 85"
passenger rear 83"

as you can see it is every uneven,coil spring conversion was fitted 1/2005 by er autogas pembrokeshire,kit unknown.

what is standard ride heights in relation to mine?
i have an issue with the handling,it seems very wallowly on a and b roads.
over about 35-40mph and it seems to have a vague ride,just been mot`ed and nothing worn.

i take it that my spring conversion is fooked

any ideas what to try first?
can you get standard height coil springs?

thanks for your time

the problem with spring conversion is that they are just that a conversion the p38 wasnt designed to run on them and you will find that other people have had the same problems they are ok if you using it off road etc but road use stick to air as they sit correctly on the axles

update

had a look around air suspension items and noticed it was all unplugged
ecu under passenger seat
switches in centre consul
three plugs in eas box

not been under car yet but i do remember the air tank bing on drivers side chassis rail and disconnect air pipes,other than that i don`t know is height sensors are still there.

i connected them all back up and got
orange light on dash with an up arrow
all 4 orange lights on height switch
i unplugged an air pipe in filter/drier thingie me bob and no air,disconnected pump and no air from there either,any ideas?

90% of my driving is on motorway so i would prefer a lower ride,i dont go off road.

anyone on staffs/cheshire boarder willing to help me out converting it back?

cheers
dave

Another problem with spring conversion is that people often think shorter springs goes to the front and longer to the rear.

In fact, it's the contrary. If those guys could only read the instructions !!

Sounds like whomsoever did the convertion put the springs in the wrong place.

As above, also what shockers are fitted? If originals likely they`re shot and upsetting handling too. Was the vehicle off-roaded before you bought it? The chassis is pretty strong but could be out of true if abused or crashed and poorly repaired. ( Just trying to make your day), not necessarily that but do consider a 4 wheel alignment check.
