[supra88gr]

OK so i need a new radiator and i was looking at the ones on ebay - cx racing, godspeed and etc should i get one or should i just save my penny's and get a name brand is there a big difference between the brands i know that size has a big influence

Get an OEM style replacement or a name brand performance radiator.

there not direct fit. especially when its a flant tank on top and bottom...

you need to shave the lower rubber isolators, and you also need to beat in the radiator lip... plus you need to make new upper mounts.

it takes about 1-2hours to install one if you have a large amount of random stuff laying around and are creative to do it.



and after owning one of these so called "drop in" radiators... i'd gladly fork out the extra cash for a drop in koyo, fluidyne, or possibly the true drop in mishimoto(suprasport has it)
