Oil Coolers and Oil changes

ValidusVentus · 06-18-2011, 09:34 AM

Im looking at getting either the Z1 or the Stillen kit. You ended up with the Z1, what made you go with them and how was the install? Fitment? Quality?

Thanks and enjoy your "cool(er)" car

Edit: I just looked at the install manual on Z1's site for their kit and it appears that you do not have to move the oem PS cooler... is this correct? If so I think that would seal the deal in favor of Z1.

No, you don't have to relocate.

Z1's instruction's have the fittings facing up. That is how mine are currently.

They both use the same Setrab Oil coolers, the only thing that made me go with Z1's is it is a few dollars cheaper. Everything bolts on, you have to drill one hole, thats it. Its a very easy install all around.
