Hi all,

I'm planning to get a set of JRZ or MCS coilovers with remote reservoir.
For those of you who has similar setup, where do you mount the reservoir front and rear?
Pictures will help a ton.
Thanks a lot!

Curious if anyone has more thoughts here. Installing my MCS coilovers and didn't see an easy way into the hatch/trunk area - but maybe there's something I am missing under the rear bumper...?

Here is a pic of the passenger side mounting, driver side is similar but along the outer frame rail to clear the master cylinder.

Rears mount them anywhere in the trunk.

Much appreciated! Where did you use as an entry point into the trunk?

Trunk has vents on both driver/passenger side. Bumper/bumper mounting cage needs to be removed to access these vents. Cage also needs to be trimmed slightly for the line to pass through.

@Carfreak70852 remounted the rear reservoirs today snapped a pic of the rear entry point on the passenger side. You can see the area I trimmed off of the fuse box frame to have better clearance. Driver side is the same, except for you have the TCU control unit in front of the access vent.

No problem, to get the line through the vent you just cut a slot the side of the vent (towards the front of the car). Run the reservoir into the car and snap the vent back in with the line in the slot you cut out. Attached a photo for you.
