Thnx. SS braided lines are a must. I was thinking of getting the components seperate; ss braided lines, oil cooler, and a remote oil filter. Being that my car is WAY low having the filter scraping on the ground is not a good idea. Deff going with a remote filter setup if I get an oil cooler. Btw, Im also thinking of running distilled water and water wetter. It never gets near 32 degrees out here.

Is that what those shiny metal lines coming out of the radiator are?

I have a remote oil filter adapter, mounting bracket and thermostat if you are interested. I ended up no putting them on mine. They are still unopened in the box. I will let you have them for what they cost. It will save you shipping and taxes. Let me know if interested and I can get you the part numbers.

But if you're still concerned about and you want to improve your coolant temps as well, we offer a combo unit like the one stated above. It's our A97EL radiator EOC combo. It has twice as thick radiator as your stock unit with an intergrated EOC in the driver side tank. Here is a link to our web page which also talks about the hose kit to install it with.
