Cayman Rear Remote Reservoir Routing
I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on how I have elected to route my rear remote reservoir hoses. I haven't punched the holes on the opposite side yet in case I've done something really wrong.

In the top picture you seem to have some rub on the line. You'll want to make sure in shock compression the line is nowhere close to your tire. I'll upload some pictures later.

Thanks Frank. I will be sure to check clearance between tire and reservoir line at full compression next.
These are used shocks (freshly rebuilt) that the previous owner may have had interference with the reservoir line. I have yet to move...let alone drive... the car w/the new dampers installed.
I like your decision to route the line through the camber plate...It's a lot easier to replace the camber plate than body panel. Wish I had considered that option. I was just focused on making the hole relatively water-tight and the only single panel thickness I could punch through and use the rubber grommet I found was outboard of the shock tower bearing where I routed it.
