Out of those four, definitely the Koyo.

CX racing would probably be last.

There are better radiators than the Koyo though if you want to get the BEST. But the Koyo is a a quality radiator.

Well best is a hard statement, you only listed a few of the inexpensive direct fit 2row radiators

There are 3 row radiators, and many more then you list. However Koyo and Mishimoto are a good bang for a cheap bucks for a 2 row radiator. Considering similar premium radiators sell 600-900 bucks.

I have seen cxracing VS Mishimoto side by side. The CXracing radiator was much thinner, welds were not as good. The older mishimoto rads were nice and thick, but they changed the design, it now has better welds, stamped top. looks cleaner. Side by side with koyo its very similar.

my alum cxracing is right around as thick as my copper koyo and the welds on my cxracing look really good. the cxracing rad i got was $139 shipped and i figure if it dies i'll get a pbm one. thats what i originally wanted but they were out of stock

I run the Koyo N-Flow with my Top mount setup. Driving around in south east GA (90+F with 99% humidity) I see temps of high 60's to mid 70'C wile crusing, And mid to high 80's on track days.
