Default Bilstein B16 installation

So I just installed these coilovers and just wanted to get an idea of how the front wiring is routed to get to the bottom of the coilovers.

The front coilovers come with the wiring on the bottom so I’m trying to find the best way to route the wiring to accommodate the wiring position. Maybe if someone has done this that can chip in or someone with these installed can look at their setup to see how the wiring is routed. Thanks guys!

Plenty of room to get the wiring through the inner fender wells. Very easy just in case anyone else is wanting to know in the future.

How has the handling improved with the B16?
How much lower than stock?

The handling is much improved! The suspension feels stiffer but more planted. My wife drove it and approved of the new handling, she describes it like a go-kart. I have the DSC v3 controller on order and just waiting for delivery and from what I've read it is going to be even more awesome. I didn't measure how much lower I have it but went with just the look and feel. I am happy with the drop and the stance. I have 20'' Carrera wheels with a 15 mm spacer in the front and a 5 mm spacer in the back. Honestly, I could have even gone with a 17mm up front and 7mm for rears for even more flushness. The stance and the look of the car are like an I just got a brand new 911 again. I'll add a few pics and after this week's detail, PPF, and ceramic coating I will add more photos.
