Do you have a tuner? You can adjust the temperature points for the fan, have it kick in sooner or just run all the time. That's probably the cheapest thing you can try first...

i wired the fans into the o2 sensor fuse and did a piggy back fuse so it would all stay protected and the fans are off a 02 civic
