Hi there, i have bought a koyo/koyorad radiator by FRSports.com and im not sure, but is koyo and koyorad the same thing, many says that koyo is Japan, but that koyorad is from indonesia,

DAMN have to get my money back from FRPSport.com or UPS delivery service, btw can i request my money back when the radiator not is a koyo but a koyorad ( only if the two radiators not the same)

that's a legit koyo radiator. they changed their image a while ago. sucks that it came like that, but a few bent fins won't hurt anything.

koyo and koyorad are one and the same. here is frsports koyo radiator banner, as you can see the name koyorad is on the building. its just another name for their radiators.

From now on, just a tip.

Open fragile items while the delivery guy is in front of you.

The faster he moves the more he gets paid, but it is also his job to wait and see if you have any questions or concerns with the box and its contents. It is just SOP, sign damaged next time it is messed up upon arrival. Good luck man.

One Love,

Ghasty

Edit: i do not know how things work in Denmark but i would assume the same

Sorry to hear that. I hope you get the right one. It's a expensive piece, so you have a right to get one in perfect condition.

Anyway, I want to add this. If you have clutch fan, shroud and electric fan, attach fan and shround to the radiator and slide the whole thing in. That way you can avoid the damage to the fins.

Koyo radiator works perfectly with all OEM parts. Some people give up and that's why they don't think Koyo radiator won't work with OEM parts such as upper and lower shrouds and stuff. Koyo radiator replaces OEM raditor perfectly. Only problem is fitment is very tight, so it's not easy to install. It's even worse with SR, but still you can make it.
