radiator choice

I'm running a Koyo and I'm very pleased with it. The Koyo isn't a 100% direct fit, you need to shave a little rubber off the lower mounts, add a plug from a subaru to the temp sensor location (unless you're adding a temp sensor or going 1JZ) and add a small piece of metal to clamp the aux fan down at the bottom... all in all it took me about 30 minutes.

There are really only a few choices when it comes to preformance rads that are made for our car or that fit with minimal effort. Koyo, PWR and I can't recall the other I was just thinking of.

The Koyo can be had for just a little more over what a replacement stocker would run... I'm referring to replacements without plastic endtanks. Replacement rads with the plastic end tanks cost about as much as they're worth.
