You might want to wait a bit for more offerings from manufactures. Especially with SEMA around the corner.

Current options are the following that I know of.
-HKS
-GReddy
-USR has a kit
-Mishimoto (in development)

I'm sure USR will chime in here but I believe they are working on one or two newer options for oil coolers..

Good news! Cant wait to see the final product

I think Sirimoto also has a new product

any news on best oil cooler ?

Mishimoto also is worth looking into, also a 19 row cooler. but it looks like you have to remove the brake cooling duct though.

this looks interesting too:

We use the Siri Moto kit on our car. I suggest getting a Koyorad core instead of the one they offer, but the lines and pedestal are nice pieces.

any one with data just how much cooler the different types of cooler does.. some of these larger ones that are 19 row in the fog light cover dont seem to cool much more then like a hks unit which is smaller and does not remove the brake duct.

Greddy seems to be the weaker of the bunch not sure if its due to duct design or not.

any numbers on the sirimoto? interesting this is a front mount.

It looks to me , the easiest to do install is the Mishi one, but I have mixed feelings about remove the air brake duct. I like the HKS one, but that price..

Our USR side mount is shipping now, a few kits done and iut the doir, nade to order, large core, fully ducted, keeps brake duct.

On the European cars we have the distance radar mounted on the cars left hand side above the brake duct. Is there any cooler solution made for the right hand side where the horn is? Or do we just have to mount an oil cooler in front of the radiator or intercooler?

I have concerns about this mounting. It seems to block the radiator from fresh air (especially right at the band of direct flow from the upper grille). Why send hot oil-heated air through the radiator? It seems like are taking from one hand and giving with the other.
