i have already got a pro alloy intercooler so might just get the matching rad but just wondered what peoples thought were?

are these rads bigger/deeper than the original or just of better quality hence the better cooling properties?

The cores are 10mm Thicker and are a very fine tube pitch.
The end tanks are alloy therefore eliminating the problem of cracking plastic caps.
The end tanks are also slightly rouded in the corners to eliveate water cavitation.
they fit as per the standard unit and they will also accept the OE fans.

I have a Pro Alloy rad on my saff. Although i have nothing to comapre it against, it really is very good and the temp gauge on the dash sits a lot cooler than with the standard rad
