Where is the cheapest place to buy an ARC radiator?

Where is the cheapest place to buy an ARC radiator? I've asked around but vendors are asking like 1100 shiped for an ARC radiator. Is their a website or vendor that I can buy it from for less then the above price, like 1000 shiped or less. The ARC radiator is over priced compared to other companies with high performance radiators. I don't see why it would cost so much.

ARC stuff is expensive for many reasons like Brende said.. And also they are imported products hence have less margin to begin with.

$1100 shipped is a really good price already.

I paid about $360 cash for my KOYO. I had to p/u though. For $1000+ she must be good!

The only thing you get with ARC that you don't get with anything else is awards at car shows.

Funny thread... People always trying to cut corners lol. trying to find one of the most expensive radiators at a dirt price. 1k is a killer price for that radiator.

if you want the ARC the save your pennies and get it. Don't let other people talk you down to a koyo or something else that is cheap.

in the end it is you that has to live with it and you will always envy others that have an ARC.

Thank You.

Is the ARC radiator better at keeping an evo cooler than lets say a PWR large version radiator.
