Red face Let's Talk Radiators

I've been toying with buying a Koyo radiator but scrolling through the gallery I see people are running several different brands.

I would like to start a thread here to help people trying to decide so please post:

Brand
Fit
Retains OEM Fans/Mountpoints/Entry/Exit
Impressions

I have a Koyo radiator. Everything stock but the radiator cap is maintained. It fits great and looks great. My only cooling problems came when it wasn't properly bled.

How much farther out does the Koyo sit? From the pics it looks pretty close to the OEM due to the OEM using the foam spacer.

Would I have any clearing problem with the Vortech SC?

The Koyo sits out about 3" roughly 3 times more than OEM. You still retain the foam between the rad. and radiator support frame. The foam isn't a spacer, it's to keep the two from touching and chipping away.

For the vortech, the water lines would be tight but can fit or can be re-routed to fit.

Hey Which slim fan are you using?
I had to cut my factory shroud a bit but would prefera slim fan just to be safe.
