Default 2018 WRX Radiator Question!

Hello! I have a 2018 WRX that is leaking coolant from my radiator. I am going to be replacing it with a koyo radiator. I also need to get slim fans in order to fit it since I have the Grimmspeed Chargepipe and I barely have enough room with the oem radiator and fans.

I have only seen the misimoto universal fans. Has anyone used these? Also what size did you get? Thanks in advance!

Everyone hates aftermarket fans because they objectively suck and perform badly compared to OEM

Keep the koyo and try hard to fit the oem fans.

mishi ****o shat .. you don't want that crap on your car.. all their stuff is subpar!! just cheap knockoff's with subpar materials and ever worse craftmanship!!! if you do want better cooler get a CFS or KillerB radiator (cry once and build it right..) Get the Grimmspeed hose kit.. Koyo is decent but not really that much improvement over stock (way better than the less than OEM performing mishi crapo... ) My 2 cents and best of luck

Avoid Mishimoto products like the plague. Everything I've purchased from them in the last 5 years that has multiple parts has been subpar at best.

Catch cans with plastic fittings instead of metal, radiator fans that rattle and fail prematurely, etc. Keep the OE fans, even if that means trimming some plastic off of the shrouds to make them fit.
