I have a Koyo and it seems fine, no real advise there but I would suggest purchasing an aftermarket transmission oil cooler (B&M has them) since more than likely, the new radiator will not have it build in like the factory one. Also, I've read of others who have overheating issues after radiator installs because their thermostat bit the dust afterwards. Once you "break the seal" and drain your cooling system, a lot of components are exposed to air that have not been for a long time and may decide to quit. Now's a good time to change thermostat, hoses, etc.

Koyo is the way to go as its a perfect fit for bolting the the fans back on. I know mishimoto had fitment problems in the past with none of the holes lining up. And YES change your thermostat when you change the radiator.
