The problem that you are going to run into on the roadster is that once you unbolt the rear strut you may find that the EDFC has no place to be. There is not a whole lot of room between the top of the strut and the part of the car body that the trunk lid mounts to, it is completely enclosed. Not open like inside the engine bay or the inside of the coupe model.

I know in order for me to attach the remote adjuster for my BC Racing coilovers I need to drill through that panel and since that panel provides weatherproofing I have been leery to do so this far. So adjusting my compression adjustments is not something I have played with much, as I have to take the whole shock out each time I want to adjust them.

the TEIN EDFC dont go inside the car. the adjustment is outside below and off to the side. They planned for that so people dont have to cut holes in their interior panels.

If you say so, but in every picture that I have been able to find the EDFC motor module goes on top of the piston shaft in place of the manual clickers...

If that is the case there probably will not be room for the motor module on top of the piston shaft in the tight space between the inner fender well and the outer sheet metal that the trunk lid bolts to...

I would love to see some pictures of the TEIN mounted in the rear of a coupe.

To run my cables from the servo motors to the in-cabin control unit from the back, I could not find any other option than to drill holes. Did I miss an access point from the back?

ill try to snap some for you. the rear clicker is in the wheel arch area, which is where the edfc would also go (been told be TEIN at least, since their east coast office is about 20 minutes away).

But i'll grab the pics if theres enough light atm and i can angle the camera in.

nearly all trunk space area's have a small hole plugged with a gromet or something. if you can run it back to there (i'd tape/tab it to the body entire way, no slack) and then up through that, it would get youinto the trunk space (normally spare tire area) and then be easy to be under the carpet/mat's.

Again thats normally on every car i've seen but i havnt taken the 370z back apart enough to see this one.
