Default Need help choosing a new radiator please!

i have a coolant leak in my radiator and need a new one asap as it is getting quite hot outside. My mechanic friend recommended an OEM because it would be the easiest to install.. But an all aluminum would probably be better for overall cooling as it holds more than an OEM. Please help i need to order something soon! thanks

I would try my luck with universal radiator but that's up to you. I get mine from ECS tuning. Was very easy to install and no problem with overheating.

The S4 radiator doesn't have any problem with cooling. Make sure you address how your aftermarket radiator attaches to the OEM hoses.
