My friend got the slim one from ebay and it worked fine with no trouble fitting it or anything, but some times you get what you pay for...

Im sure generally speaking in some cases you may be paying for just an outer casing and the name, but when it comes to radiators thats one thing i wouldnt cheap out on.

as well as brakes, tires, etc.. Certain things are tolerable like wiper blades lol. But keeping your car cool enough is important, esp if your a trackstar!

I've used a stock replacement I paid 54.00 total for in a 92 LX, worked fine. I'm running one of the total aluminum dual core in my own car I paid 80.00 total for, and it works fine.
The stock LX has been running every day for 6 mos or so, and the big one has been running 4 mos just fine.
I just always make sure the seller always has good positive feedback
