which radiator should i get??

So I broke the top plastic part of my radiator and now I'm just going to buy a new radiator and for the price i'm just going to go ahead and get this one. i figger the ebay one since its the radiator, u can't really design a bad one for our car, and they are the same dimensions. plus all aluminum means i won't break the plastic again lol

the one i want

i personally don't trust the ebay parts.....
you can consider the Koyo radiator for evo
they fit right on, no modification required
it's a nice upgrade...twice the capacity than stock one
just my thoughts!!

Does the evo koyo radiator bolt right in? I don't think I've ever seen a definite answer on that one (there was always some debate about the hoses hooking up properly).

Well, I was recommending a CBRD Radiator, but then saw he had a lancer, and I don't know how fitment is on those cars...

What i researched and found on the forums was that the kyo fits in no problem, its the upper hose that causes the problem but if i remember right its too long so i can just cut it and in case I need the evo upper my friend has his still so i'll swoop on it. I'm pretty sure that if the koyo fits in the OZ then this knock off will too. I've accually had good luck with ebay on parts no complaints but i also don't buy stuff that i think is crap. This well be another test on a part from ebay the way i look at it. who knows if this thing turns out good then others can follow but if not then i can stop any one from making a mistake

you can get an eaby one but make sure you get one that is identical to the oem.
