Anybody have the Mishimoto Radiators?

Hey guys, I was thinking of purchasing a new radiator and I was thinking of going aftermarket instead of OEM. I'm looking into getting the Mishimoto Aluminum radiator since it's more durable. I'm also going to get the silicone hoses as well.

My question is would I have to do any trimming since the dimensions are not OEM specs? Also will the stock fans bolt right on to the Mishimoto? Will I need a new radiator cap as well? I also heard Koyo is good and is OEM size, but it's kind out of my price range. I don't want to spend $$ on the OEM radiator since they crack easily.

honestly spend the extra cash on the koyo you'll be much better off im running one with samco hoses and i love it if you plan on doing much in terms of power you'll want a radiator thats higher quality in fact i found a koyo on partsgeek.com for under 200

I have a mishimoto in one of my other cars. The koyo is way better, hands down.

I was going to say the same thing - all the research I've done suggests Koyo to be much more recommended (although more expensive).
