Doc, am I dreaming or have I seen somewhere that you have done a wet top dry conversion without changing the subframes?


Yes you can do a wet to dry conversion using the wet subframes I haven't done it but I am told it's possible 8)

Yes our Barney has a wet front subframe with rubber cones and Konis, with Hi-Los.
Rear is a Clubby dry, I think. But yes you can put rubber cones in wet rears too.

Meeni, there's a wicked conspiracy afoot to get rid of all hydro suspensions because they handle and ride better than dried out rubber cones do... :wink: 8) :lol:

Must be bad, lol- they used a derivative (Hydragas) on the MGF too.

will now remove tongue from cheek... :P
