The standard rad is fine at keeping water temps down, i would stick with that as alternatives can be quite costly.

Recently put a Haste rad in my type RA.
Costly and a swine to fit as it's MAHOOSIVE, but temps are kept cooler

I haven't got heat issue yet, but as mine is damaged, I thought it might be an opportunity to fit something even better while swapping a new one...

I have the opportunity to have a custom coppercore one made. what do you think of this ?

I bought a JVC KW-AVX800 head unit off them last week. The unit was sitting in my hands less than 48 hours later! They also declared the unit as only being £25 for customs and I didn't even ask them to do that .
