Silla are Chinese made, they are only around $125 on eBay and are a direct fit usually with a lifetime warranty. They have a plastic top like the stock ones. I've had one in my car for 3 years now, no problems.

PWR makes the all aluminium radiator. I am not sure if they are still available.

They are available, but only through PWR australia now, so impractically expensive. I have heard around $800 now.

Go with the silla ones, people seem to have had excellent luck with them, and they are plenty cheap.

Re: need svx Radiator...

I called Dean at RADSUS again today and he still has nothing for the SVX.
I'll call him again in two weeks.
The only thing on E-Bay was a Subaru rad for over $500.00.

i would doubt that the actually have one. most of the internet car warehouses are not a physical location, just a middle man. once you order it they will check with the actual supplier and find out it is unavailable. i contacted almost every vendor when looking for mine and was always told it will be available soon or will never be available.

Re: need svx Radiator...

Would a single pass (5/8ths,I think) radiator do the job? OEM is a double pass.

Re: need svx Radiator...

I had a single pass briefly in one of my 92s when I bought it. It overheated as if there was a head gasket problem. Put in a Silla and no more problems arose.
