radiator shopping

hey dudes
just wanted to know where you guys bought your koyo radiators.
other than mazdatrix in signal hill and racing beat in anaheim,
where else can you save some money to buy them?
im planning to get the N flow one, since its not anymore expensive than the otther one.
i got a coolant leak anyway, so i wanna just replace the stock along with the vacuum tubes around.
pay cheap for better results.

thanks

i got a custom radiator for my fd from these guys for $270 shipped
http://www.randys-racemart.com/prcdopara.html

i told them what dimensions and style to make it and they hooked it up. my custom radiator was even cheaper than most koyos....and it was made to my size specifications. good enough for me to drive up the cajon pass with the a/c on in 104* weather without any fear of overheating.

only downside is you have to make your own mounting tabs, but it was a small price to pay for the quality.
