Im replacing the radiator on my impreza, had a look on fleabay and they start from £39.
Without sounding paranoid surly that's too cheap, they state they are oem quality but im doubting that, im trying to avoid the mickey mouse ste from china.

Anyone familiar with a quality brand of replacement radiator.

Do you mean OEM for Subaru, OEM for anyone, or just generally OEM quality?

Get a radiator specialist to build one for you.

A quality brand for subaru impreza.
Suppose i could get one from subaru main stealers but just had a quote on the matrix, which has just gone and they quoted £400 !
Didn't bother to ask about the radiator after that.

Valeo and Delphi are both OEM suppliers.

My Elise has its original and now 13 year old Valeo radiator on.

I fitted a Delphi radiator to my Scirocco and it lasted 11 years. Not bad for £50 IMO.

Nissens also make excellent (and by that I mean OE-quality) rads etc. Well worth a purchase.

Glad you said that, spotted one on ebay for about £120, name seemed familiar but wasn't sure.

Neither of these list one for an impreza, good suggestion though, cheers
