Question Radiators

To guys who installed an aftermarket rad:
- Problems to install A/C condenser?
- Problems with the cooling fans?
- Fitting?
I'm looking for fluydline or koyo, there's a competition-radiator too.
Thanks for helping. greetings mike

I think the fluidyne is best. Good fitment. I had bad installation instructions, and installed from the top. My friend had the right instructions, and installed from under the car. It was much easier. No problems with the AC. I had to trim the plastic fan frame just a little. It was no big deal.

I didnt have to trim anything at all for the Fluidyne. It fit great with everything, and works great No complaints here about it.

I think pretty much all the aftermarket radiators fit about the same. I have a Koyo and only had to switch the left and right brackets and bend one of them, others have had to trim plastic from fan shroud but most do not. Seems about the same for all radiators. I dont think I have heard of anybody having problems with the condensor with any of the radiators.

I installed a m2 in mine, they only fitting i had to do was to drill holes in the top side brackets to mount the hardware to tighten it down. Other than that it went right in.
