Default FRST front mount options

HI all, car is now off road for the 2.1 and a complete overhaul to get her mint.

Just wondered if any1 could help as i was thinking what front mounts are available other than the GRS item and the pro alloy,

Has any1 ever fitted coolers from other cars ie cossies evo etc etc.

Thanks in advance
Matt

Want something that doesnt look too OTT like the GRS and like.

the grs works great at keeping act at a reasonable level with intercoolers the bigger the better going smaller you might run into problems. the grs is a tried and tested product, heard people having act problems with the pro-alloy dont know much about rad-tech.

GRS make custom intercoolers so give them the measurements and they'll sort it, or i went for a pro-alloy in my old car which required a certain amount of cutting etc but the performance went up straight away:

Pro-Alloy no question, they were by far the best I've tried.
