Radiator

I need to replace my car's original radiator. I was leaning toward the thicker cored PWR aluminum unit. However, I have been told that the afternarket radiators, i.e. the Koyo, are not completely plug and play. That most of the aftermarket units don't have the brackets for mounting the cooling fan etc.

Does ayone know of a aftermarket radiator that is just plug and play and includes all necessary brackets and needs no adapting. Otherwise, I'll just get a new factory radiator.

Thank You all! Guess I'll order an afternarket aluminum fan now.
