Suspension Remote Reservoir Routing

Are remote reservoir dry breaks an absolute must? They're pretty damn pricey add-on for what seems like a small convenience of routing if there's space to actually route the canister.

Inquiring about both front and rear.

i think most like the MCS come with the front, i just ordered some. I was told the rears are a must unless you want to remove your bumper.

Front dry breaks are required on the F80 if you go with MCS. You can't route the reservoir through the spindle.

Not quite still on the fence about coil over vs divorced and remote vs. external on the damper body. Seems like a lot of extra cost for a small convenience. Probably will do 400/700 if I go divorced, just want something streetsble still.

700/1000 divorced and rides surprisingly decent, provided you don’t forget to adjust dampers before ride home from track

That's a surprising amount of spring to run and still be comfortable on the street!

Maybe roads in San Diego are better compared to Bay Area I880 from HWY17 up to the onramp to I280 will require tank tracks in a year or two...

Do love San Diego, but also miss being halfway between Laguna and Sonoma.

Haven’t daily’d in over a year, so the spring rates are working pretty good, actually thinking about going up to 1100 rear. Would definitely go softer for a daily.

Let me know if you guys ever plan a trip to Buttonwillow

I didn't think you needed the quick disconnects for the rear. This is a huge $700 price increase if i'm not mistaken.
