You can pick up a corksport with a new fan shroud for $300, their products and service have been good thus far to me.

look into what you have to cut as well, some of them are larger than the stock one. For some people this is no issue, of course.

I love my Koyo. Affordable, stock fitment, and cools way better than stock

I'll grab a pic today but its only a picture of the engine bay showing the very top of the radiator. What kind of pictures are you looking for specifically?

And the winner is???

Which one has drop-in stock fitment? Griffin, Ron Davis, Fluidyne, Corksport, Godspeed, Koyorad

Some claim stock fitment, but supposedly you have to hack up the fan shroud (Ron Davis?).
Others claim stock fitment but supposedly you have to add washers or spacers (Koyorad?).

I'm with the OP; looking for a replacement radiator with easy install and fitment for an FC S4 NA. Not necessarily the biggest or best cooling. Just a stock replacement...but all aluminium.

(Maybe nothing is perfect...but Koyo seems to be the closest thing to stock fitment; is that right?) Anyone able to compare some of these?

My koyo was drop in, however it was resting on a bolt for the A/C cooler and eventually sprung a leak.

Godspeed is "drop-in stock replacement" in a S5.

Koyo is a drop in item, if it does not fit your car as is, then chances are your car has been smacked, or was modified in some fashion well before you bought it. for a totally stock drop in with increased cooling try the Koyo Coper. same dimensions/design as stock, but with copper core. it cools like a champ compared to stock, and drops straight in. or go with the aluminum for slightly more cooling.
