Best Cooling Fans?
Which brand have you used or would recommend?
Rockauto carries:
Spectra Premium (Lifetime Warranty)
4 Seasons (12 mo)
VDO (12 mo)
GPD (12 mo.)
-Vehicle seems to be running hotter than usual, hovering between 213-215 (@70 mph), and finally settling in at 202 (mixed driving)
-With A/C active, both fans are on but I don't feel much flow and can barely even hear it.
-My 4th Gen would always settle down to about 190-195 on hot days

Been the land of coincidence lately...
I was just pondering this the other day as I've been loving life lately while running AC full blast and listening to my fans do their dance when called upon. Problem is, they are the (I'm assuming) stock fans that came with my car and look like they've been through a warzone. Upon any close-up inspection, they don't appear to have any issues and they seem to function as they should, but it will be my luck that I won't make it through the summer with them and they'll crap out at the most inopportune time.
As far as your concern about airflow and noise, my fans blow hurricane force winds when they click on (both on low and high) and can be heard from down the street. So I think yours are circling the drain. Also, mine click on every time at 203 degrees without fail per NDSII, and of course whenever the AC is being used.
I'm thinking I'll pick up a Spectra replacement to have on hand while I work on a custom composite shroud and two Derale 2 speed fans for the Mishimoto radiator.
What is "LLT"?
