Default Remote damper reservoir locations -- advice sought

Those of you who have Motons, Penskes or other dampers with remote reservoirs -- where did you mount them? In my case, we're talking about a C6 Z06.

I would appreciate any advice regarding preferred locations (why there?), method of mounting, etc. Anything you can share, including photos, that would make my learning curve easier. Dry break fittings, hose lengths, 45 vs. 90º fittings, pass-through grommets, mounting hardware, etc.

Thanks, Andy

Really -- no one has done this and learned anything in the process worth sharing? Any suggestions/advice appreciated.

Front reservoirs mounted to the oil cooler bolts on either side of the radiator shroud.


Rear reservoirs mounted to the upper front control arm mounting bolt.




Brackets are from Eibach. Them may sell them as a separate part or Penske has different brackets depending on application.

wstaab: Nice, clean install. Thanks for the photos and bracket info.

irvbulldogs72: Thanks for the referral to Jason at Katech. I will give him a call. In the meantime, do you have any photos showing the location and mounting of your rear canisters?

thanks, Andy
