uhm... hydrolic? do you mean hydrolic suspension? well. if you wanted hydrolics, you'd be heavy as hell, your ride would be very firm and you could change your ride height... if you had gas shocks like everyone else, then you'd be normal ;). or you could get airbags or those new air struts... personally i have gas shocks, they are tokico hp's... nice imo for the price.

i don't really know what you're trying to ask but, gas compresses, and hydrolic means it's liquid, and it doesn't compress. well, by hydrolic not compressing, i mean not much, like very very very little and it depends on the liquid. heh. so uh....if you're using any sort of hydrolic system, it'll be a rougher ride when you hit bumps. yea :7
