Looking at an Aluminum Radiator for my Lude.

Any thoughts? I saw that Mishimoto just released one for our gen.

The lifetime warranty thing is what is really selling me at this point. Other than the aluminum endtank talk, are there any other perks of having an all-aluminum radiator?

I have koyo one on mine, never noticed a difference. I'm sure it helps out at the track or with extreme temperatures though.

The only perks is there is no chance of the sides breaking. The OEM radiator is plastic on the ends so those can break/leak.

An all aluminum radiator is nice but won't provide better cooling for daily driving.

If you are using it for the track, then that's where you will see your money's worth. I know there is a race prelude that just uses a fluidyne radiator w/o fans for his track car, he can't sit there for long though.
