Godspeed, Mizu, Koyo, Mishimoto or one of the two OEM options (denso or toyo)


You can't really go wrong ... they're all reputable companies and their products have been proven to last by many past members.

Just be sure to specify if you have an SH or a Base, since some of those aftermarket companies do not make SH radiators. (i know for a fact Mizu does not make one for an SH yet)

Most aftermarket radiators will be for the base model as they don't include the separate lower cooling section for the ATTS/auto fluid. If you have an auto or an SH you can just add a small transmission cooler for under $50. Get an aluminum radiator if you are replacing it; don't waste your money on the same OEM one that I am guessing you are replacing because it broke. The plastic is prone to cracking/breaking and/or rotting; you won't have those issues with an aluminum one.

I have the Mizu radiator on my ek9- honestly I was pretty impressed with the way it performs. As far as Koyo goes, I haven't heard anything bad about them. Either of the two in my opinion would be a good choice.
