Where do you mount your external reservoirs/ canisters?
I bought a set of JRZ RS PRO's for my E92 M3 and was wondering where you guys mount your external reservoirs? In the boot there isn't any issue but I'm finding it hard to find a place for the front dampers that
1) isn't exposed to heat 2) isn't exposed to elements like dirt/ water etc any installed pics would be GREAT! i know EAS has an install thread on here but they don't show how the reservoirs are mounted |

Water and dirt won't hurt them. I put mine in the windshield gutter at the base of the windshield using some fuel cell foam to hold them tightly in place.

Here are a couple different solutions from former VS Motorsports and current M3Post sponsor, Alekshop. Not quite sure how much of an issue heat from the headers and motor will be. All I know is that with my E46 M3, placing my canister in fairly similar areas did not cause any issues on the track and street. Ideally, I would like to keep it away from direct high heat.

Decided to mount at the front air intake area. The airbox prob collects more area from the bumper opening anyway. I'll try and see if I can make some custom ducts to feed air into the secondary airbox opening.

I like my location best. Zero heat and zero chance of a zip tie failure causing something to flop around in the engine bay. So long as you check periodically that the drains are clear which you should do anyway, no issues with drainage

I tried on top of the radiator, in front of the air ducts at first. Had lots of car overheating issues that were all resolved by moving the canister in the rain tray.

Got these 3d printed. They allow for a zip tie to run through. Not the fanciest but it works!
