Default Replacement radiator

Can someone please give me a recommendation for a replacement radiator for my 2000 S-2000? Thank you. Anyone have any info on the Mizu brand?

I just purchased a mishimoto Rad haven't installed it yet. The selling point for me was there warranty. Even replacement if you damage it in an accident. I was looking at the full blown many say there the exact same so I went with the best warranty.

Been running a Mishimoto for 3 seasons now. A lot of street miles and tons of track abuse, still going strong. Some have had problems with the rad cap, but mine has never leaked. The warranty is what sold me as well. They are a very good company to deal with should a problem arise.

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately money is tight right now, so hence I was looking at cheaper options than a Mishimoto. Not that they are expensive, but Mizu is like half as much and appears to be the same. They may even be made at the same factory in China. But I must tell you I just bought an OPL on Amazon for $130 and have to send it back because the fan holes don't line up. Maybe you get what you pay for; although the build quality looked good. I was looking at Mizu, Full Blown and Mishimoto leaning towards Mizu based on price. That's why I was wondering if anyone heard anything about Mizu. Any input or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

My mishimoto fan holes were slightly off. I would buy a koyo if I had to do it again

Well I ordered the Full Blown rad today. I called Full Blown and asked for measurements on the fan holes so I wouldn't run into a fitment issue again. They said all the measurements hit the ones I sent them. We'll see. Looks like the price went up a little to $218 vs. $199. Still a good price. Can't wait to get it.

I too have been thinking about a replacement rad. I am having no issues right now but it is 14+ years old and plastic.

Mine too was 14 years old, but upper tank cracked.

They are all the same, just rebranded. You pay extra for whatever brand it is stamped with.
