that's gonna be more than $300 for both. I'd replace some other parts if they're bad. water pump, tstat, etc. efan is a waste cash IMO you shouldnt really need one

use the money wisely. buy a new tstat (15 bucks) pressure test the radiator for any leaks if its good flush it replace coolant inspect hoses. and use the rest of your money on your DW and save any left over for something big. like buying me a tig welder xD

Thanks for all the help guys really appreciate it! So I think I'm going to go with a new rad csf 3 core one since I see a lot of ppl like them on here. Any modifications to fit one? Then a new tstat 195 one and a water pump. I see the highflow ones out there but I'm wondering if it's worth getting a high flow one instead of the regular oem? I'm debating the fan clutch still don't know if it's worth it and if it really is that loud. I've done coolent flushes on it already here at my work. Guess I'm just going to do a cooling system overhaul. Any other cooling parts to replace since its already all out?

And as for my Subaru it's an 02 wrx fully built jdm sti engine with a holset hx40 turbo. For sale actually!

not really any point to that either. an all metal 2 row from radiatorbarn will work plenty. I'd keep the OEM t-stat too unless you know how the 195 will affect your system. just replacing the radiator should work wonders especially if yours is more than 10 years old. just check everything else and see how it's all holding up. check your heater core and make sure its nice and clean
