Koyo radiators? Any opinions?

In the process of dicking around with my car I nicked my radiator and created a pinhole leak. It's patched with epoxy at the moment and seems to be holding fine but I want to replace it before the hot summer weather and the track season gets here.

Does anyone have any opinions or feedback on Koyo radiators? I STFA and found 4 mentions of them but nothing specific. Specifically I'm interested in hearing about quality, performance and fitment.

These are the options on the table so far:
Calsonic OEM: ~$900
AWR: ~$475
Koyo: $261 plus shipping, handling & insurance from radiator.com

Thanks,
Steve

Hey propellerhead,

Does radiator.com really have a radiator available for the Evo?? I'm looking for one too (nicked my radiator too! ). I called them but they only have one for the Lancer, not the Evo (so I was told by the service dept).

Your talking about the KOYO OE replacement, right? They seem to run well. I've got probably over 50k on one. My big gorilla *** broke the OE end tank while leaning on it looking in the engine bay.

Okay, apparently Radiator.com does have a radiator for the Evo. And yes, it's a Koyo. I just picked one up from their warehouse today.

I don't know much about radiators so I can't comment on the quality... but it looks fine. It's pretty lightweight too.
