CSF Radiator Install - Use CSF Clamps, or Replace With OEM?

Should I use the CSF supplied clips, or replace with new OEM clips? I've read that CSF had addressed the clamp issues, but wanted to verify which clamps are the better option, I have both in hand.


Thanks.

To me, the CSF clips seem stiffer, less give. I'm going to give them a go. Hopefully that is not a bad decision, maybe they have addressed all the issues from long ago. Any feedback is appreciated.

I bought and used the stock clips when I did my radiator replacement. I had no idea that there was an issue with the CSF clips.
