The newer part which is all that's available now are Firestone springs and per the service procedure, you have to do a retrofit to make them both match.

I bought the old style Arnott air spring and shock absorbers back sometime around 2015ish for my LR3. The ride was slightly stiffer but 100% acceptable. After a year or so the right front started leaking oil and was replaced under warranty. Sometime later both fronts were leaking air & Arnott replaced both under warranty. Since then, it seems like every year or so I have at least one that needs to be replaced due to an air leak. Aside from the first shock, I’ve not had oil leaks or issues with the shock absorber itself. On my last warranty exchange I noticed they no longer have a lifetime warranty, it’s 24mo. So next time I have a failure I’m going back to OEM air springs.
Pros: ride acceptable, no oil leaks (later units)
Cons: slightly stiffer ride, frequent air leaks, warranty reduced

the Firestone 4175/6 that failed on me: tugged out/kinked cuz binding on inframe routing of the airline mounted up.
Cons: failed on me, tugged out/kinked

Part number: 4175/6
I installed my Firestone 4176 bags. The problem with these airbag kits is the flexible airlines are surprisingly thin and flexible. I routed mine UP... with any movement its possible it gets kinked right there (and I am having problems with zero psi on one side, and unable to lower on the other- so in the midst of fiddling with it..)
Cons: thin flexible airlines, airline gets kinked
