Hey Guys

Im wanting to put a front mount on my S8.. do i have to move the radiator, or can i just bolt the cooler on the front?

You'll find most kits will require you to move radiator (into upright position) also aircon condensor and power steering cooler lines. So it's a fiddly job....I think the plazaman intercooler requires less things to be moved....check it out I guess although I think you need to change/move the front chassis support.

What mod's do you have so far? If you're thinking of putting a front mount on first there's probably other things you should consider before the front mount.
IMO first mods should be ast, then a decent turbo back exhaust and pfc.
If you're planning on putting in a front mount, which will require things to be removed / replaced / moved in the engine bay for it to fit you should also consider upgrading the radiator aswell, best bet is to have a look at Sandy's thread on mod's and decide how far you want to go, you'll only waste money and time doing things piece by piece, then realising you should've done other things at the same time.
So rather than rushing in, plan your mods, budget, save and do them all at once, you'll get a better price on installing them if you get them done at the same time!

Link to Sandy's thread, have a good read of this, then plan your mod's!
I wish there was a thread like this kicking around a couple of years ago, would've saved me a lot of time researching!
