Default performance radiators???

where can i get one cheap and have it delivered fast. my shop needs a new radiator for my car since i got into an accident, so i decided to go with an aftermarket one. the thing is that i need it deliverd fast or i'll just stick with a stock one. also do i just need to get a thinner radiator fan or an AC fan too and what are the prices on that.

If you have a 98+ GSR, don't even think about running the stock fans if you
go with a Fluidyne radiator. I had temporarily hook up the A/C fan in the
radiator fan spot, and run with no A/C fan. I only have around 2 1/2 clearance
between the turbo and the radiator.. Definitely will have to go with a SPAL fan
(2.05") instead of a FAL or Fluidyne Slimline..

If you need it fast, be sure to get Absolute Radiator to ship by Fedex EXPRESS - I got it shipped Fedex Ground and it took forever.

I'm thinking you'll need a 10".. make sure it's the 2.05" max depth.
I think 12" would be overkill for your A/C. but definitely get the biggest
you think will fit. (I think 12 will fit.. but I haven't done this yet).

I've thought of mounting the fans as a pusher, but there just isn't enough clearance between the intercooler and AC condensor. Also, puller is much
more efficient (so I hear).
