Default Coilovers and your wheel speed sensor wire.

What do you do about your wheel speed sensor wire in the front with extreme suspension travel such as coilover suspensions? Is the wire long enough for this much travel, or is there some kind of extension you can get?
Thanks,

I just unhooked mine from the front mount right near the hub and hooked that part of the wire into the back mount that is a couple inches away. Also unhooked mine all the way up except for snapping it to the brakeline in one spot. Has just enough slack for the fantastic articulation!

The wires on 2012+ models are longer. I changed the ones on my 2010 for those. In fact, all previous years' part numbers have been superceded by these.

Do the 2012 have the same clip style as the 2007-2011?

I too have a 2010 with EVO/King 14" coilovers and switched my sensor wires to the new 2012 and they work perfect at full droop. They route properly along with my brake lines; much cleaner.

dont have coil overs (yet ) but i had to replace my front hubs and the new ones came with new wires, so i used the old harness and the new harness to make much longer ones.
