Are the hydro rear trailing arms the same as the rubber cone arms??

Interchangeable??

No. They are different and not readily interchangable.

Nope the position of the knuckle is different, also the brake pipe setup is different, and hydro arms have a bump stop on top.
Also the handbrake bellcrank pivot setup is a bit different.
That said, it is possible to use hydro arms in a dry racecar with hi-los, according to Justminis.

As he said; a set of Hilos is all you need.

Stub axle needs to be changed too, need a press, for the lower shock mount. Not the only way to do it tho.

You can cut it off flush then drill and tap 3/8 UNF for a high tensile bolt. Works even better with Koni shocks (can then adjust em on the car).
