Mishimoto/Godspeed/Cxracing radiators: Are they identical?

I've had a Godspeed for over a year now with no problems.

I lurk here a lot and do not post. BUT
I have the cxracing Rad On my Bone Stock 92. And it installed perfect No fitment issues. Just Bolt Your fans on it before you put it in. And Remove Intake Cross Over.
It Does Come with a partial Mounting Bracket. You remove the Two Side peices That hold the stock one it place with little rubber bushings.
I also have a/c and did not have a problem with it fitting. Just pushed fans back further.. kinda a tight fit but worth it. I got mine $150 Shipped On eGAY
Fit great and havent had a problem. Is A Improvement Over stock For Sure

You hit the nail on the head. If you want a high quality radiator from the get-go, go ahead and pay $500 for one. If you're willing to dick around with returns because of shitty quality control you might save $320. The choice is easy for me. Radiators are easy to change.

... Which reminds me .... I said in an earlier post that I had to make new top brackets because the rad rubbed against the A/C condenser .... in fact the REASON it rubbed was because of the extra width of the FM throttle body elbow. So, if you have an FM intake on your Mazdaspeed, then definitely use slim fans and make longer top brackets (bolt and post holes about 1" farther apart than stock), otherwise you'll have trouble.

I'm running one from CXRacing and absolutely love it. The stock fans bolted right on, radiator dropped right in, and has been working like a champ ever since. 1 hard open track day and a whole bunch of stop and stop and stop and go traffic resulting from the Woodward Dream Cruise and it has yet to allow my coolant temps to go even remotely high. I'm definitely a believer.
