I'm surprised they don't leak oil- every other part of the LR's do!
I replaced mine with Dunlop (Original spec.) from Island 4x4. I have no personal experience of Arnotts but there is good feedback on here from guys that have fitted them. In theory, as the heights are dictated by the sensors and not the springs, they should be the same. However I decided to check the heights on mine and they were out of spec. after fitting the springs-I didn't check beforehand what they were before the change. I got the Rovacom out and recalibrated them to factory settings.
I would think that you may encounter the same problem as myself regarding removal of the spring clips, especially on the rear springs....but you may be lucky especially if your existing springs have plastic end caps......Good luck.
if your changing just the springs you don,t need to depressurise the whole system,i would remove the big black relay from under the passenger seat,for the eas,support the corner you are doing with a jack/axle stands,and just remove the air pipe from that spring.(wear some sort of saftey glasses to stop any **** been blown into your eyes),then put a bit of air into the new spring from a footpump or commpressor then fit it,once its in start the engine for a minute,switch off then move to the next spring,thats how i did mine,took me a full day but the rear springs were jammed in
