Nope... oddly they look about the same size as standard ones and given they are Chinese made I would be worried about claims about 40% better cooling. If Rick tells me they are then I would have faith in his word...

Mine are RLR and the bottom one is around 2-3cm wider than the standard.

also the rads looks the same size from the front but the cells maybe deeper and not pictured?

this is running without a fan set up so i would imagin it would compensate with that space with the depth.

maybe worth emailing for more info. he offeres a guarentee through ebay, so cant be too bad,

I brought them cos i needed new rads
i fitted them the weekend before a race meet and they fitted fine only thing is the fan switch provision they made is the wrong size (bit small but right thread size) and also no way to mount the fan
so i mounted it with out and it went great with no over heating and no leaks
so or $400aus good buy i say

I also bought one, and it is good. Turns out I have dealt with the bloke in a previous life.

I can organise a group buy and get them a bit less than 400 + 60 delivered (to Australia). Mabye $360 AUD landed if I can get enough people.

Is anyone keen?

I can also get other makes of radiators and silicon hoses.

Cheers
