I am going to be installing new coilovers soon, and searched all over the place, to see what panels I need to remove to access the rear struts from the inside of the cabin...

Anyone have a pic of that area... and/or a how to with pics? I thought someone would have it written up by now!

 

you do it from underneath

 

Well, I have to run some wires up for the EDFC ... can I just take the plastic shell off the strut tower cover to pull those through?

 

On the 03, you can't; Jeff from Performance has posted some very good pics of where to open the rear strut to get the wires for the edfc through; try a search.

 

Ok, I understand that... I think I am wording my question wrong.

I need to know if i need to take EVRY SINGLE PLASTIC panel off in the car, or just a few specific ones. If its only a couple, WHICH ones do I need to remove?

I have seen the pics that jason posted, and I don't mind enlarging that hole a little bit... I just didn't know if the rear struts bolted from the TOP (inside the car) or the BOTTOM.

Thanks...

 

you need to remove a bunch of pieces to get them off but not all... i have them all piled up in my kitchen now... but you will see which ones you can pull off first and will let you pull off another... to route the EDFC lines anyway you will need to remove a few other panels leading up to the front of your car...

DO NOT CUT THE EDFC WIRES! you will void your warranty with TEIN (pronounced Tayne like like SANE)

i drew a circle around the holes you must make larger...
