The installer said he usually clamps them on the lower arms. What would you recommend? |

Are the remote reservoirs, and the dampers, connected to the hose with swivel banjo fittings? If not, mounting them in the trunk will be more difficult because the reservoir is fixed in its position relative to the hose. Looking at the pictures in the OP it appears the reservoirs are fixed to the hose. However, there might be a banjo fitting on the rear damper but I can’t tell with the front struts because I can’t see the top of the camber plates. |

And would you recommend trunk length for boot installation? The installer here in the UK said he usually mounts them on the control arms. I'm thinking trunk mount would perhaps affect the NVH in the car and reduce the boot space as well. The car is mostly a daily as well. Also can I ask you about the top mounts. Did it come with Intrax top mounts? I asked mine to be OEM ready because again I am worried about the NVH in the car. If you put the Intrax ones, did it cause much NVH to increase? What configuration are you running? I can see from your car description that it is more track oriented so different priorities there, but I would appreciate your input. Cheers |

With QD fittings you can mount them under the removable trunk floor cover or, if you use the side vents, the remote reservoirs mount in the recessed areas at the backsides of the trunk (where the battery cover is on one side). No reduction in practical trunk storage/volume. |

Here is what I did for my MCS setup. I would opt for the QD/Dry Breaks

My Intrax arrived, installed the fronts today will tackle the rears tomorrow.
Questions: 1) Where did they mount the accelerometer? I tie wrapped it on a hydraulic line and made sure both are sitting on the same height. 2) What settings are you running? .ie how many clicks front and rear? |

2 - iirc, you’re running spring rates close, or identical, to stock rates. I believe there’s at least only one other person running Intrax dampers with remote reservoirs and much higher spring rates. So your non-remote dampers will have different damping rates even for the same number of clicks and your softer springs will require far less damping to control unsprung and sprung masses. Assuming your dampers have 20 clicks of adjustability, I’d recommend starting around 5 clicks from fully open (minimum damping settings) and adjust from there. If you were on a track, I’d recommend starting both at 0 (fully open) and adjust R until things feel well controlled. Then start increasing C until you achieve the ride quality or performance you’re looking for. |

2. The Intrax pamphlet should have the recommended # of clicks for your setup. For my "typical" settings, it was 15 clicks starting from fully closed for the front, and 26 clicks for the rear.
