Fluidyne seems to be the best choice but a bit pricey, Koyo have nice units too.

I don't know about FCs but adding a second oil cooler for single oil coolers' FD is a good cooling system upgrade. You might want to dig it a bit.

i am yet to find an oil cooler that works better than the factory fc unit but i highly recommend the braided oil cooler lines from mazdatrix they are cheaper than factory, last longer and they are pretty.

whatever you get, make sure it has a metal top and bottom, several people have had the plastic top or bottom split open on their original oem radiators - myself included

dual pass rad should be fine for anything short of full road course racing
