Compared to the other JDM brands, Koyo is less expensive, but I would not say it's low cost. It's a good unit - they are very popular for Spec Miatas and the one I have (on my Miata) is very well made and works great.

koyo is standard if you ask me. most every tuner car with an upgraded radiator would have a koyo because it works great, and its 1/3 the cost and sometimes 1/4 the cost of the other brands and for what i can see it works the same.

Visteon radiator is the only answer, comes with fan and cap for less than the koyo.

Oh, and it's manufactured in the same plant as the OEM radiator.
