Aftermarket rad for 02' SI...

Anybody replace the oem radiator with an aftermarket yet? I believe Koyo makes one and noticed that there was another out there made by JVT racing I believe for alot les$. Anyone know about these? Is the Koyo much better quality?

Loved the Koyo in my RX7. Why not put one in the EP3?

What did you love about it? I mean it cools the engine coolant. I mean it may be a couple pounds lighter, sure, but I mean unless you need it, why would you spend money on it? A K20A2 can run with no radiator for hours without a flinch .

Besides the looks. Lol. The Koyo gave me peace of mind. I was disgusted in the size diff. between the OEM and Koyo.
