Recommendation for new radiators
Found a small leak on my 01 yr, may make sense to replace all 3. Mostly spirited driving with a few de's per year. Anyone have a recommendation?

thx evan

I think I read somewhere on here that the CFS are not as efficient as the stockers. I'm sure they are stronger though. Someone search for that review.

isn't my experience with them, temps are extremely stable with them, can go run FTD then sit in pits (GT2's have only 1 rad fan) without temps rising.

CSF vs stock price for all 3 is only a couple of hundred more for the CSF. For that difference i would prefer an all alum vs the stock with plastic sides (which will leak again in the future!)

"Alumiseal", whispered to me by a senior Porsche tech and friend several years ago. It worked, sealed both side fronts. Original radiators, seep free, no coolant smell in years.
