cbrd makes a nice radiator. a bit lighter and a bit slimmer. plus they seem to care about their customers. service plays a big part in who gets my hard earned money.

Go with the koyo. Its space saving and my car never overheats. It runs great in hot weather on the open road and stopped in traffic.

Ive been through two koyo radiators, one leaked after 3 months, the second one the cap wouldn’t seal correctly. Got a Mishimoto radiator for 6 months now with no problems, I could care less where its made, koyo is made in Indonesia anyway. For the price and performance I am happy with the Mishimoto rad”

ours is made in the good ole USA, using visteon and delphi cores (depending on supply)....

the main thing ours was for, was to relocate the filler neck and provide better than stock cooling!
