I went for the GPI racing ones. I've seen a review slating them but they're also used by the Swansea boys for racing so can't be too bad.
The rad cap on mine is the right way unlike the review.
I think they're wider than standard. The hoses are definitely at a wider angle which means even if the radiators aren't actually wider the overall unit is.
The mounts are too wide on both the upper and lower rad (can bodge around this without too much difficulty)
You'll need the rubbers off your old rads.
They're just as soft as a normal rad, nothing out the ordinary there.
Can't argue for the money, it was actually Rick O who told me to get them for racing instead of the expensive ones he does!

Yea I read about some "Gerd" rads (not sure if Rick O uses them) that sound like next level but cost too much for a rookie like me. Thanks for the great advice!

The Gerd rads are even more expensive than Rick O. Nether are worth it unless you've got a tuned engine that's prone to overheating I think.
