    I'd stay away from the chinese made radiators on ebay just in case. Its not something you'd want failing on you.
     
    Considering Koyo radiators are maybe $100 more, I'd with them.

    depending in the pirce you are looking at spending, there is also the PWR and the new mishimoto x-line (that I recently received), but like I said depends on your budget

    PWR would be the best, but for $1,000 you get what you pay for, but theres a reason why v8 supercars, world rally cars, nascar ect use them......

    $1000 seems a bit excessive for an N/A radiator... I'll look at my options. Thanks for the help guys.

    Why not just use a standard radiator?

    Mine is stuffed and I was just looking at my options. As far as I know the standard one is pretty good. But if a better one could be had for a similar price why not?

    Yeah,  I thought the standard one is very decent.  Whats wrong with yours?  you can always get it re-cored if new is too pricey or you cant find decent one used.

    You're right! they list MR2, but seems its only the the spyder.
     
    Either way, I wouldn't trust an Ebay radiator for cooling system. Its not something I'd want compromised due to poor quality.
