I've gotta replace the radiator on my '91 LS coupe, but don't want to go back with the oem plastic one. I'm also not ready to drop $400+ on a high performance one.

Any suggestions on the best of the affordable all-aluminums out there.

Thanks.

The prime choice here seems to be the PWR -> $300, which is still steep but under your price cap.

There's no such thing as a radiator above and beyond OEM or OEM-equivalent that is not a "high performance" piece. The PWR is nice, and sometimes you can find a Koyo all-aluminum one for about $350.

There's nothing inherently wrong with the stock design, and if you think about it the one you've got has lasted this long so replacing it with a similar piece can't be that bad if you're in a pinch for the dollar signs.
