I'm installing my air suspension and have all the front lines planned out and run but the rear lines are giving me some trouble. Where did you guys route the lines from the trunk to the wheel well? Pictures would be helpful, but I pretty much know the guts of the car by now. Thanks in advance!

drill 4 holes. from the trunk to outside. if you don't use ur spare tire, you can drill it over there, so it's well hidden.

I was hoping to find some kind of drain plug that I could punch through, the only one I've located pops out right by the exhaust and I'm concerned about the heat (sort of) damaging the lines. Anyone else have an idea or am I breaking out the drill? Front lines are run through the back seat and along the door trim and out the firewall grommets, nice and tight route.

Drilling was my only way as well. Couldnt find a spot that I could get the lines to, without putting a really bad bend in it.

I went thru a hole that was exposed by removing a grommet and then enlarged it.
