Ok, I searched this and found the only difference is size, but that still doesn't answer my questions.... which is prefered and/or which is meant better for JDM front, no A/C, blah blah? It's been brought up in past posts but I don't see a clear answer for someone like me ready to buy. I'm sure many of you had to figure this out before you bought one, help me out. Thanks

 

Denso
reason being the OEM one is a denso rad

 

makes sense, and I didn't know that.... thanks

 

my OEM radiator has a sticker that saids " showa aluminum" on it. my VIN starts with a "J". does it matter if i use a denso or a showa radiator?

oh.. my car is a 1999 GSR so what's up with that? i thought i was supposed to have a denso. the top part of my rad is brown color, not black.

as far as i'm concerned... they're pretty much the same thing if you're going OEM... i had a showa one

 

My friend as a Koyo, dont know which one it is. Its bling polished and thicker than stock. I dont think with a stock set-up (ac, fans) and a good header it would fit.

 

which koyo the polished racing one or the regular black plastic one?i got a polished one for my jdm front and it fit no problem.**** but i cant remember if it was denso or showa
