Umm... don't get a larger radiator then... whatever works...

There is really no need for a larger radiator on most street-driven FDs. The stock one does an excellent job of controlling temperatures. With the fans set to come on at 85C I never see higher coolant temperatures no matter how much I drive the **** out of the car. If I up the horsepower and get higher resulting temperatures, I'll upgrade - but until then getting a bigger radiator would be absolutely pointless.
