so the actual rubber cones is a direct swap from the hydro bags?

do i need to have shock absorbers along side the rubber cones or will it work without??

thanks

The hydro sub-frames have small lugs to which the hydro units fit. You just knock those in or grind them off and the rubber springs will fit fin.
The top arms are a different ratio, but thay don't really need changing, although Hi-lo's will help to get the ride height correct.
At the rear you do the same with the little lugs, then fit the rubber springs and trumpets. The only other difference is the way the handbrake cable is run, but is not an issue.
A mod well worth doing IMHO.
