There's several lower temp t-stats available. Just find one that will keep your car at a good temp. A warning though: don't get one that will keep your temp too low or your car may run too rich and may not be able to completely warm up. Ex: I run the 79c in my w201 during summer because the daily temps are around 105f - 110f, so the 79c in conjunction with the massive 600 watt cooling fan keeps my car at about 80c -83c. If I ran the same 79c during cooler months my car would run rich and never really get to operating temp.
