Sorry to use this thread, but for a 4WD saph, which one for standard engine on normal road ? I guess 82° is standard, but unsure, can anyone confirm this ?

Any reason why the 88 degree one is best?

The RS 500 had an 82 standard to compensate for the big intercooler interfering with airflow to the rad.
So id say standard car - 88, modded car with 500 cooler - 82

You would if you had a faulty cooling system, to compensate.

I would say on a standerd car 88° and on a modded car say 350hp+ I would go 82° just to keep temps down a bit
