Coilover Remote Reservoirs

Coilover Remote Reservoirs
Where on earth are you guys mounting your front remote reservoirs?
It seems to me the strut bar would be obvious initially, but I'm sure the heat radiating off of the intake manifold would keep them a bit too toasty?
I'm almost thinking about mounting them in the lower portion of the wheel well as the rebound adjustment is on the bottom of the strut up front anyway. Thoughts/ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated!

You do realize the fluid inside the dampers heats up too, correct? As with all racing its always about heat management but in this case I doubt the heat radiating from the IM will even come into play. Sure cool fresh air would be ideal but is it even any better down in the wheelwell? Aside from the obvious potential wheel and tire fitment issue, you also have heat radiating from your brakes down there too

If you're concerned about it, you can adjust nitrogen pressure. But as heel2toe stated, shock have an operating temp like everything else.

I have seen rally cars with reservoars mounted in 2 places.. one was on the struit bar and the other was on the inner wing but towards the front of the car... that is a cooler spot..
