unless you plan on a turbo or something, I don't really see the need to upgrade from stock.

My VE has a bunch of bolt on mods and I have never had a cooling issue at all. I have driven it all day long in hot weather, driven two hours to the track, raced all day and then drove two hours home, been caught in traffic for a few hours, etc. and never had any problems.

OEM would probably be an easier install (i say probably), but a Koyo looks cool and you can put it on your mod list even if you never use it to it's full potential. As long as you keep your tstat the same it shouldn't really make a difference in operating temp. Is the looking cool worth the extra money?

Whenever a stock radiator goes bad, if I really care about the car and plan on using it for a long time, I'll always upgrade to the largest aluminum radiator I can find that bolts up in the stock location with no modifcation.

Koyo has a pretty good reputation. Aluminum radiators can last for "millions" of miles.

Just my 2 psi.
