Description of Spectra Complete Radiator CU2356: Unbeatable Performance and Reliability!

To allow room for the occurring thermal expansion, OE clevis pins are included where it is required. To reduce stress on the headers and prevent warping during thermal expansion, stress cuts are made to the side rails. Increased tube wall thickness for durability and longevity. Manufactured with high quality material for extended durability. Subject to aging and endurance testing to validate performance under extreme weather conditions.

Works as it should

It has been two months since I installed this on my 2001 IS300. Works fine and had no problems. You only have to include a cap!

Pros
  • Side rails are stress slotted to reduce stress on headers and prevent distortion from thermal expansion
Cons
  • So far so good

Installed on a 2002 IS300, works as expected. .

Installed on a 2002 IS300, works as expected. Feels lighter than the factory part and is mostly plastic. Let's see how long this lasts.

Pros
  • Increased pipe wall thickness for strength and durability
Cons
  • Some small details

It's not worth it! for spares

Started leaking on day 2 of install, used a plug which stopped the leak for a few days and leaks again! The second tank stopped flowing and the radiator cracked at the bottom and the refrigerant squirted out like a faucet!

Pros
  • Key pins are included if needed to allow for thermal expansion
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Leaked after a month and a half.

I bought and installed it in March, it's now May and it's leaking. The thermometer plug doesn't quite fit, but you can get it to work. I contacted Revain customer service and they were very helpful and sent me a replacement free of charge within an hour of finding the leak.

Pros
  • Subject to aging and endurance testing to verify performance in extreme weather conditions
Cons
  • Reliability
