radiator replacement

I've got a simple question. Is $200 too much for a radiator re-core on a 85 gs? The radiator shop said it would be better than a new one and would have a 1 year warranty.

Sounds kinda high.. But if it is a nice 3 row.. then i suppose the price isn't bad..

BTW a new one form autozone is ~$100

Are there any aftermarket alluminum radiators, that would be cool to have.

What about a modified or universal rad.

i was reading the RB tech guide about radiators and they said the stock one is more than adequate for performance street and even highly modified track use...as long as its in good condition of course.
