Default Anyone Tried the KKS Radiator?

I'm looking for feedback on this particular radiator if anyone here is running one.
I am not asking what other brands everyone else is running.
Quality and design look good with nice welds and the price is very good as well.
Thanks, Greg

They must be good. According to their website, their radiators are "100% GUARANTEEND!"

I hope to heck they pay more attention to detail when they put the radiators together than they do when they look at their website. It's ghastly. The site is rife with broken English and misspellings. For all I know, they sell great radiators, but when folks are sloppy about their communications, I wonder if they are sloppy about other things, too.

I think that I might become a "DELEAR", so I can get some radiators built to my "requiements".

Couldn’t find a radiator for any of my Corvettes, but maybe they spell it different

Well, there's clearly a language barrier there.

Given the lack of attention to detail and inability to use Google Translator, I suspect they’re made from Chinesium...
