trouble deciding between oil cooler kits

There are a few pretty decent kits out there. I am looking for aftermarket dual oil coolers. I havent had any cooling issues yet but better safe than sorry. Im getting ready to move to NW florida in two months and I dont want the car to have any issues considering temps have hit over 100 degrees already. What kits are recommended?

Thanks

There are great instructions if you search on how to make your own kit or Forum Vendor Sake Bomb Garage has a reputation for making a fantastic kit with several options.

Most are similar, so look at the quality of the parts that each option comes with, including the fitting/mounting hardware and instructions.

What you're paying for, in part, with a kit is the "kit"... the work someone has done in sourcing all the parts—large and small—and thinking through the installation carefully so you don't have to.

I bought the CWR kit long ago when it was virtually the only option, and the great part was the excellent CF ducts it came with. Today, Sakebomb's kit looks like it's a little better thought out and has better quality parts.

A friend of mine recently added the R1 cooler to his oem single oil cooler. In normal driving, he has yet to see his oil temps reach 180. His sensor is in the oil pan.
