Upgraded coolant systems?

What else can you do besides replace some piping with thermal flex products? Just thought it would be good to upgrade one of the problems with the FD's

sorry if this is a horrible question, and i did a search, didnt find too many good things.

Unless you are tracking the car, the thermaflex hoses are overkill in my book. The stock hoses are very well made and last a long time, provided other circumstances don't shorten their life.

That's a very vague question. There is a big list of things you can do to the cooling system to improve reliability.
1. New radiator
2. Replace all coolant hoses
3. Fan mod
4. Replace the 5 fin fan with the 4 fin
5. Weather seal around the fan and radiator
6. Improved belley pan for more flow
7. NPG+ coolant conversion
8. Upgraded or eliminated AST

Start with this list.
