OK guys I am looking at the following radiators.
Has anyone had any experience with either one of these?
Could you help me choose the right one? Cooling capabilities, installation etc....

Don't forget about calling local shops and seeing what they would charge. You'd be surprised at the price sometime. I personally did mine just because I like the challenge, and love to learn ( okay okay it for bragging rights ).

Why do you need to upgrade yours Gabe? I personally did it because A I broke my old one and B it was the same price as buying an OEM one.

Sam I checked around, the cheapest I found was around $250. The shop would replace the core to 3" and reuse everything else. I found it a bit expensive.

That's decent if you think about it. The 2 cores you pointed out would of cost more money by the time you had them shipped, and modified to fit your car, and buying that premade one for our cars is still more money. Also one thing to keep in mind is that copper conducts heat better than aluminum.

Just one more thing , if you do decide to do it locally ask around about that shop or Google them.
