This makes some sense... but what is a "Hydraulic Spring"?
Hydraulic fluids are typically incompressible, so you can't use a hydraulic cylinder as a spring. If you are thinking of just a hydraulic cylinder replacing the spring and routing the fluid to a some device to harness the power generated... well, the suspension will just collapse once and the car will stay on the ground. You still need an actual spring in the system.
