    I ran the car at laguna seca a couple weekends ago and the reservoir temps are night and day compared to mounting them on the strut bar or close to the engine. Before I couldn’t hold my hand on the reservoirs because they would get so hot and now the reservoirs actually feel cold to the touch.

      Planning to do this for the front but using something nicer than zip ties would be great if anyone has any ideas?

      Now for the rear I am not planning to gut anything but want the reservoirs mounted cleanly where they don't impede access or trunk space as I will be running the carpet liners. I was thinking of something like the Rennscott mount with an adapter that allows the mount to bolt the reservoir horizontally to the parcel shelf using the existing chassis mounting bolts pictured below which would allow you to route the reservoir lines up over the carpet liner which would be a super clean and discrete install. Anyone with solidworks or cad and a 3d printer willing to help out and design something? I imagine a lot of guys would be interested in a plug and play solution that is completely reversible and clean.

        This is pretty fuckin awesome, did you have to modify the microfilter cover for the cans?

        I can't remember for the life of me how my evosport mounted mine 15 years ago, wish I had pics.

            Looks like the horsepowerfreaks cover. NLA if I'm not mistaken

              Once you install the filter, they stay in position, a little bit of movement, but nothing to worry about.

                yes, i cut the corners to pass the lines and then cut the filter cover to fit the cans. I have LTW cabin filter housing also.

                    Anyone running quick disconnects with their reservoirs? Looks like its the only way to mount them cleanly if you run the liners in the rear and in the engine bay using TPE setup and want to hide the lines? Looking to send my MCS off in the next day or two to be upgraded to reservoirs and need this figured out ASAP to see if I really need to drop 1k extra for the quick disconnects.

                      Without the QD hoses I believe you need to install the shocks w/reservoirs THEN have them filled or pressurized on the car.

                      But I don’t have any direct experience with remote reservoirs. So take with a grain of salt.

                        That makes sense.

                          I'm debating about this as well, jrzs come with fronts but debating getting staublis for the rear as well.

                            Can anyone share how they routed the front lines through the wheel wheel and fender to keep everything out of the way and secure? I'm thinking about putting the canisters on the front of the radiator support, should be able to reach with the hood open to turn the knob.

                              If you get front impact, you will damage the ressrvoir. I prefer to install them into the drug bin on passanger side and next to intake or DME on driver side

                                That's true, another option I'm looking at is on the fenders below coolant reservoir and next to the stock airbox. My drug bin is getting a mk60e1 and I don't want to relocate the whole unit.

                                Here's a picture of them mocked up, if anyone has a pic they can share of how the lines look that will be great.
