Default Radiator swap...

I have purchased a Fluidyne radiator and just waiting to get it in, but I have a few questions to someone who has done this already. I am currently running a Integra radiator in my Civic EJ1, so I purchased a Integra Fluidyne one. Now i am wondering if I should swap out my thermostat, and my fan switch with ones from Mugen while i am doing this. Has anyone done this and will it be beneficial for my GSr motor? Or is this just a waste of money?


The reason I am changing out my radiator is because my current one started leaking at the top seals...no over heating problems though.

THERMOSTAT
This thermostat has the operating temperature set lower than normal. It prevents engine power loss by minimizing rapid water-temperature rises under harsh conditions such as during circuit driving. The use of a flow-control-type valve prevents hunting, thereby achieving rapid stabilization of the water temperature (the engine warms up within a short period).

Operating temperature: 68°C (STD.: 76~80°C)

Full-throttle acceleration temperature: 81°C (STD.: 90°C)
