Why Would You Want To Do That? And How Low?

because having a lower temp thermostat allows the fans to kick in at a lower temp and that is "supposed" to keep the engine cooler cooler engine= "better" performance....and longer engine life....from what ive gathered...and it makes sense to me....but the mugen thermostat is 80$ vs a stock one for 5-10$...not worth the money for the gain...so i was wondering if there are any others out there....

Well go to your local parts shop and ask.

You can't go wrong with mugen. Bite the bullet and buy that shit.

stay stock! i had one (mugen) on my old lude and made no differnce..car ran better with stock 180ish??temp then the 160 low temp. If you have a cooling problem, look into upgrading your radiator, oil cooler, or change the mixture on your antifreeze for better results

OEM is the best for parts

the manufactorer knows best
