awe, I hate when they do that! Did you see the listing for years in the drop down menu. LT1 93-97 ????? I've never seen a '97 C4 before?
I'm sure it should work ;)

Re: 160 Tstat (vvv90)
I am changing my thermastat as I write, The housing is to hot and I am taking a break, I went to a parts store and bought a 180 over the counter. I think a 160 would make the car run to rich w/o any mods to the engine.

Re: 160 Tstat (jtjerry)
All a 160 degree stat does is lengthen the amount of time the motor takes to get to operating temp, which is typically between 190 and 195. It is fine for pulling your car up to the line and racing the quarter, But in everyday driving it won't really help you.
Your much better off doing the fan cooling switch mod.
