man.. this is so frustrating as no one seems to have a clear answer.
folks are saying it's normal but many folks experience this only after a couple years of it NEVER going over 210F. anyone that has a fix insight would be amazing.
I've thought about the radiator/oil cooler replacement but like I said, the last thing I want is for it not to work or to be a masking band aid (I prefer OEM,not upgrade) and then give up and have to sell the car.

It's super normal - You're freaking out about nothing. If you're going to aggressively track the car with aero, slicks, etc then it's likely worthwhile to upgrade. Otherwise, let it be. If you insist, flush the coolant and increase the % of water to coolant ratio.
