Engine radiator MISHIMOTO or KOYORAD
In my particular situation I went with the Mishimoto radiator. Idk why it gets so much flak. Had no issues with install and it has been great. Now I use my 8 for autox so I needed the extra cooling. I can say that last weeks event it was 89 degrees out and even after a 2 hour drive and fielding for 4 mins to make my run; my ect was 200.
Pros: no install issues, great performance, extra cooling
Vehicle:
Mazda
I would bite the bullet and buy a Mishimoto all aluminum radiator that is literally plug and play, its way better than stock and there's no plastic to crack.
Pros: better than stock, no plastic to crack, plug and play
Vehicle:
BMW
I have Mishimoto radiators in both my Miata and E36 and I haven’t had a single issue with either one.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:

Have had no issues w my Mishimoto radiator and it's been on my car for 2 years.
Pros: no issues, durable
Koyorad Aluminum radiator (upgrade): $380 If you got those two parts, it’d save a bulk of the money.
Pros: saves money
Replaced it with mishimoto and haven't looked back. Holds much more coolant that OEM and does a much better job cooling.
Pros: holds more coolant, better cooling

My 95 got an aluminum tank Koyorad last month. These aluminum cylinder heads warp too easily to be messing around with cheaper options.
Pros: prevents cylinder head warping

Mishimoto, despite it being overpriced, does not have plastic parts.
Pros: no plastic parts
Cons: overpriced
Two months ago I installed a Mishimoto radiator. Now im consistently mid 190's, temp goes to 205 regularly, and then fans come on and cools back down.
Cons: higher operating temperature
I have a mishimoto radiator and it never gets up to operating temperature, so the engine runs too cold (really bad). I had to put in an air dam to get it to warm up in 15 minutes.
Cons: engine runs too cold, never warms up
