To help with reducing the temp of the coolant. These cars run hot by nature so I figured this could help that.

More fans isn't better: firstly the smallest fan in the series will limit the others, and secondly you don't want faster air, you want more heat exchange surface = bigger radiator.

help reduce what? are you having a problem with coolant temp right now?

if you don't, then you are just trying to re-invent the wheel

most rx8 out there drives with stock everything and they're all fine. it's really a few dozens of people who needs more cooling for different purposes
