Default New Radiator

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good quality replacement radiator for my sti2? Mine is leaking slightly and ive looked at a few on ebay but dont want to get ripped off.

I would be just as happy with a well priced replacement o.e. one as an uprated one. Any ideas? Anyone tried these 90 odd pound ones off ebay?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In my opinion, what is the point of changing the rad for a standard one, the one scoobybits might have an alloy core but do they still have plastic end tanks ? If they do it will split again as sure as eggs is eggs.

Try here,
Milsport

Fast road, ALL alloy ones that will really drop the temps and last a damn sight longer. Not cheap but then quality never is.
Not rubbishing the other ones just don't see the point in buying something that will leak again.

But the standard one that came with the car lasted 11years, dont know how long you keep your cars, but i like a change more than once a decade. Dont get me wrong, im in tune with your line of thinking, but i just spent 5k on the car and im on a budget!

Cheers for the replys.

Fair enough, but I believe the key to keeping Scoobs reliable is to keep em cool.
A standard replacement will not do that, the all alloy road/race ones will by approx 10 degrees in ALL weathers.
