If you get the Koyo radiator in the group buy section, you will have a better radiator than what came with the car.

third aftermarket? did you buy from ebay? Koyo or Mishimoto. I got the Mish because they will replace it in the event of an accident even if it is your fault. You should also check your fans while they are out and BE CAREFUL ATTACHING THEM TO THE NEW RAD, SUPER EASY TO BREAK THE BOLT

Make that two! Previous owner (original owner) had two replace at the dealer, needless to say he kept meticulous records. I just had to replace it again due to a crack on the right side. 169k on the od.
