I drain and re-fill my coolant every 2 years... I just did it a few months ago and added a 180 degree t-stat, a bottle of watter wetter, and had my car dyno tuned w/ lower fan settings.
Yeah, unless your cooling system is already working at it's capacity, I don't see how it will do anything. The fans and thermostat regulate temp. If the water is cooler, the thermostat will stay closed until the water heats up to the thermostat set temp., then the car will run the same temp as usual. I assume this is a mod. that's only needed if you race.
