Sedan Specific Rear D-Spec Adjusters

Does anyone have DIY or install diagram for the adjuster extension cable for rear Tokico D-Specs?... I found this one for coupe:
https://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-...35-coupes.html

But the base sedan is different - seats dont fold down... I have non-premium so no recline in rear.

Anyone know the best method of installing the adjuster cable?

I believe you have to drill holes in your wheel wells.

Mike, PM Dexter (dahkyne), he has them installed and routed behind his back seat headrests. I'm going to be doing this pretty soon too.

theyre not that special that it would require doing something that drastic....

the cables arent necessarily specific to a sedan or coupe, but there are 2 lengths for FM chassis applications... the shorter of which is what is normally used

if anyone plans on buying them, theyll look long at first... but they reach perfectly

the extra long ones are just that... extra long... and not needed

I'm definitely down for that. I need to remove those stickers from the underside of my hood too.

Marcus, if you set something up, let me know soon - I already ordered mine from Stillen ($25) - they are due next week and I planed to take to Temple City to have installed with d-specs and SPL A-arms... if something else is shakin' I'll hold off...

BTW, whats up with the fluid reservoir caps?

If I remember right you have to drill a small hole and poke them out by the rear deck.

im not sure if that would apply to 05-06 sedans, as mine didn't need drilling at all... maybe the area under the rear seat was reshaped between years that required it on older cars... possible

basically, i took the rear seat out, screwed them onto the tops of the shocks, replaced the seat, and reset the shock adjustment... took an hour at most, working slowly

I would suggest getting the shop to do it if they're already going to be in that area of the car anyway... BUT...

if they cant, we can work out some install schedule and get them in there for you... hopefully the drilling part isn't applicable to your car.
