Lower temp Thermostat
Can anyone recomend a lower than stock temp thermostat. I have just done a greddy front mount also replaced stock rad. with a Koyo and the temps are fine now at the outside temp at 75 degrees, but with summer coming up I want to make sure it stays cool. Luckly it is not a daily driver but still want to keep the temps down

GO BIGGER!
You need a larger capacity Radiator, not a lower temp thermostat.
You want to get rid of the excess heat, not circulate the hot coolant thru the system quicker.
Is this clear? Do I need to go on?
The stock 180' temp thermostat works fine.
Make sure both of your fans work, check them weekly or monthly.
If your fans don't work in stop & go traffic, it doesn't matter how "cold" your thermostat & how "big" you radiator.
