Default Radiator

I've got a leak and need a new rad but looking around I'm not sure what to get.im happy for a normal quality one rather than upgraded as its not running big power.
Its a 53plate Sti.would this be ok?http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/191051315152?nav=WATCHING_ACTIVE

Take a look on the mishimoto website mate a rad for yours is £215 by the looks of it and if you use this code :BANZAI06 which is 12% off if my maths is correct takes it to £190

Its up to you really on what you want

Cheers for the heads up mate.will the Mishimoto make any difference?As long as its upto standard and keeps my temps at a good level at 350bhp I'm happy as I won't be going any higher.
Thanks

It would keep temps way down at even higher bhp and has bigger cooling capacity and they fit perfect thats why i got one to be honest and the lifetime warranty covers accident damage aswell alot of american race teams use these rads so just shows how good they are
