I've never known springs to be sided,
Front and rear yes, but never sided.
Aren't 4 door springs stiffer? If yours is 4 door then maybe you got a rogue 2 door spring (or 2) by mistake?

No I just bought some D2 springs a week or so ago (RHD) and the left and right were different part numbers.
Sometimes they are, although on RHD RRC they aren't.

Did you check that the ones you fitted to each side were the same length with the same appearance & that you didn't mix F & R by accident?
Did you replace any suspension bushes at the same time & tighten their bolts before letting the car back down & settling it?
ETA on that last, it might be worth slackening the bush bolts & letting the car settle with the full weight of it in its normal running position before retightening on the ground.

Check the length. May be they have given you a standard length instead of +2
Yep standard springs are sided to allow the weight of a driver & still sits level.
Not spotted modified springs marking the sides to fit. I have modified TF on my 110

This comes from a US source but may help with original specs:-

I didn't check, because I had no reason to! The fronts and rears were definitely not mixed up. I didn't replace any bushes other than the bushes for the shocks which I replaced at the same time.

bp + 2 or their own hd springs are the same on both sides
Maybe he needs to enrol at Weight watchers.
You might not be the first to suggest that!
But it sits unlevel with nobody in it, both front and rear. Maybe it's just part of the Britpart experience.....

Only thing you can do is try swapping them side to side. Ya never know yer luck.

I assumed the OP was referring to a RRC, as the thread heading was 'Classic'
I am, but I also got some springs the other week for a D2. I have too many land rovers!

More likely I’ll just replace them for terrafirma or something. Britpart could cure the world of epilepsy the amount of stuff they do that doesn’t fit
