Just installed my dual oil cooler kit yesterday. Fit and finish were perfect. Dan, Charlie, and Ramy did a very nice job. No detail was overlooked.

What would the point of this kit be otherwise?'
What else would I need for the complete conversion then?

I would like to order the kit with dual setrabs and stainless lines. However I have the '99 spec front end and RE V-mount, so I would need the special h/w. Also I have a RE-Amemiya sway bar mount which has a bar connecting the mounts, I'm not certain from the pictures but I don't think that bar would interfere with the thermostat mounting, however it'd be nice to be sure. Also does this kit work with the RE-speed oil pedistal? Also I read that you guys may have an AN option for the oil pedistal connection? And I was thinking, some stainless brake lines have a plastic coating to prevent rubbing with other components, could this possibly be ordered for your lines? A lot of this is custom stuff I could probably have done, but I'm just throwing it out there. And any updates on pricing for the '99 and RE V-mount options? Thanks

The Sway bar mount shouldn't really get in the way, I guess it's possible, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. You would have to add your own plastic coating to the lines if you wanted it, I have never seen that coating on anything but brake lines. Also I am not making a solution for the RE V-mount; I'll just make a custom bracket if people need it. Once we finish the 99 spec kit, it will be around $100 extra.

Eminent, I guess we did then

Andy, I am still gathering all the necessary parts for the 99 spec front bumpers. Sorry this is taking so long, but getting new brackets designed and produced can be a pain. I have the RE v-mount on my car and I had to make a custom bracket to lower the thermostat to clear the radiator fans. Like I said before, I can make you a custom mount to work with the RE v-mount. Are you using the RE-speed pedestal with banjo fitting or male -10 fitting?

Ok, so I will wait for the '99 spec kit. I do not have the RE-speed pedestal yet but I was planning on installing it at the same time as the oil coolers to get the additional sensor mounting locations and I would want as much AN as I could get. Is that an option for the kit? I will look into having the lines plastic coated or buying some already coated. Thanks
