What I said was that the installation kit that comes with the fans is junk because most are cheap plastic and that nylon kits are the best and usually must be purchased separately.  That has nothing to do with the installation.

My Spal fans are rated 255 watts. Just make sure you mount everything with provisions to replace the fans if you need to.

Installed the fans on the radiator. And been working in the exhaust part as well.
Here is a pic of the fans in the radiator. A lot of ppl say that the mounting hardware is junk but they don't know how to attached them properly. Here it is.
I also tested them and they flow pretty good on them.

 I hope they are keeping their word on it, they are made in China sold by US seller. Don't get me wrong please, but I doubt they have that kind of accurate CFM. and amp .
 I too bought a Civic rads /fans and they claimed 1400 CFM. it was actualy less then 1100. that's is why I used Spal.

It was an ebay brand. That's why I agreed with purple saying that they claim to be that much.  Here is the link . I have no idea how to really measure the cfm on them but I'm sure it should work fine.

 ::bounce Not sure what Solrac's are but would assume they are similar! Mine "claim" to be 1730 cfm per fan! If this is even ballpark I would guess we should be OK!!!   ::bounce

Quick observation, 
are you pushing or pulling the air?  and are those fans secured already?
i am just thinking that if you want the fans to the rear of the car, i would imagine you want the hose connections to the engine side of the rear, meaning the fans would go to the other side of the Rad, or you could be doing something completely different in which case, please feel free to ignore my comments... and carry on...
