You will have to modify your crossmember. It is that or just break down and get a Place Racing, of better yet a Full-Race

It fit with moving the radiator support, so it barely touched the cross member. It's not too tall either. Fit like a glove

not very well in my past experiences. A nice radiator is one of the best things i ever purchased for my turbo car other than engine management

its actually kinda weird, b/c somehow the tabs sit in between the cross member and sits tightly in there. Once you put yours in and wiggle it a little bit, you'll see exactly what i'm talkin about.
