Hi Rhys. Welcome on board. :)
Hydro suspension, when set up correctly works very well. There are some simple mods that can be done which makes the system even better.

Larger bump stops front and rear and standard shocks fitted to the front only.
Makes a world of difference.

Yes, I made these mods and it works very well. I will be changing to dry fairly soon as mine will be a race car so I may have those bits going spare with very few miles on them.
