if youre on a budget the stock sr radiator is actually a very good radiator.you can take an electric fan off another car like a taurus or something. aftermarkets are usually only 20-30% better in cooling efficiency and the stock radiator is pretty good.

most people get the koyo/flexalite so you can look into those if you want aftermarket.

if youre balling arc, fluidyne, yashio and kansai have some really nice cores.

just remember there is no radiator that will be plug and play with BOTH the KA and the SR. The hoses are in different places. If you are definitely going for an SR down the road, then get an upgrade designed for the SR and make a crossover pipe that will adapt it to the KA for now.
