Anyone that has installed the KA24DE/S13 version of the Koyo radiator... Can you share your experience!

I've just gone through a month long ordeal with another "OEM" fit radiator that was definitely not oem fit. In my case the mount posts were incorrectly located on the tanks... off by a good 1/2", causing the lower tank to hit the rad support.

ive installed one on an s13 w/ a sr20, it was VERY streght foreward installed almost as easilly as a stock one. the only thing was it was much wider than the stock one so it was a little bit more difficult to get into position. other than that everything was fine, the fan shroud even fit nicely. i used zip ties to hold it on but i think the factory hardware should work fine. one thing though, if i remember correctly, it came with cardboard taped to protect the fins i would leave that on untill you have test fitted it and you are ready to install to keep it in good condition. good luck.

Is this the Koyo Performance radiator?(like 2.1" thick), or the OEM replacement version?(~5/8" thick).
