Are the ones available on www.radiator.com any good? It's around 150...my car is relatively stock, and I don't plan to go crazy on engine mods.

Hi Higgi

I'm sorry I can't find your message and we couldn't meet in Frakfurt.
Next time, I want to met you.

In Japan, Aluminum radiator is very expensive.
around US$700.
Fluidyne is much more cheeper.

I have the K2RD and it's HUGE! Nothing bigger will fit under the hood in that location. It's a very nice piece.

Get one from Mazdatrix. They work just fine here in Texas during the summer. Seems you just want a good reliable radiator for a normal car, and thats plenty good fine.
