Something tells me the 25R might be a bit too tall to install on the driver side, but...who knows. Maybe I'll get them to swap sides and find out.

I think I read in another thread (Modshack's or Vipor's??), because of the added height of the 25 row, you may have to flip it around so that the fittings are facing down, or you may just not be able to push it as far left (towards the driver's side) as you like.

Ick, no thanks on flipping it upside down. I dont like the idea of the dipstick mis-reading potentially :-/

Does anyone know if changes to the bracket have been made so that you don't have to hack at it and are the instructions any better for the install?.

I am REAAALLLLYYYY torn between going Stillen and Mishimoto (have Stillen CAI and will be going Stillen CBE). So many people have had issues with the install and it seems like Mishimoto has taken the time to create a model specific Oil Cooler with the DIY installer in mind. The downside, people have said that the M oil cooler has had fails (but that was a few years ago).

Anyone have any new thoughts, opinions or input? Want to go 25 row with Thermo plate (VA winters are a B)

Help a sista out

I'm fairly sure the directions have changed since I did this (it HAS been years, after all...). That being said, I've done several oil cooler installs. Z1 Motorsports install I prefer, as the oil line routing is superior, and you dont need to relocate your power steering cooler. That being said, I'd bet that Stillen has altered their kit so that you dont need to do that with theirs, either (its kinda pointless to require that as is...longer lines fixes everything).

So, anyway, point is: go with the Z1 Motorsports kit, as it's a sure bet.

Did you ever make a decision on which cooler to go with? I just picked up the Stillen 25 row w/ thermo plate and was planning on installing it this coming weekend. Just wanted to get your opinion. :driving:
