Can any additional members chime in with the Spectra rads and fit and performance? I got 130k on the OEM and want to do the swap.

I also ordered this one off of Amazon. I will post my reviews next week when I get it in.

I got my Denso radiator in and it looks to be well made. There were no blemishes on the fins, and nothing major to complain about visually. I am a little disappointed that the top and bottom ends are made of plastic, but that is a very common thing across a lot of cars. I will install this weekend and let you know what my thoughts post install are.

I couldn't find a Koyo, so I got the Spectra off amazon. I don't have too many miles on it, but so far so good. It appears to be of good build quality. The brackets are even fairly nice (although I did opt to use the factory brackets - which still fit on the spectra). The Spectra unit is packaged better than others. The only thing I didn't like about it is how the drain petcock is designed (it is slightly different than the OEM radiator and makes a mess when draining, but that's not a huge deal).
