Problem with most sump extension kits is that they only add about ½ quart in capacity, and lowering the sump cover any further is asking for trouble. Such a small increase in total oil capacity (about 5%) is not going to do much.
The S cooler is a drop in, bolt up swap for the base unit. Be sure to replace the four o-rings or you will have leaks, and make sure the small hose on top is connected; as the oil cooler is the highest point in the cooling system, it is where air will collect. The line on top of the unit connects to the surge tank in the rear boot to help get any entrained air out of the system.
