[s-cars] Radiator replacement - Oem Dealer or Aftermarket (Nissens)?

[Dace Voit]

Peter,

I bought the Nissens radiator when I replaced mine.  If I did it again, I'd get the OEM radiator.  The nissens unit took a bit, albeit small, about of work to make fit.  The lower mounts had to be slotted to make it fit properly.  Also, the clips that hold the fan shrouds in place didn't fit well at all.  It seems to cool the motor just fine, but I wonder if it flows similar to the OE unit or not.  Lastly, the mounts for the intake were cheap and one of them broke.  The other, I had to drill to make the holes line up.  This latter issue doesn't matter to me now as I am not using the stock airbox.
