anyone used a ready-rad radiator

It's a pretty cheap radiator at only $100 but it's the only one I can find in stock at local auto parts stores and I need it today. When it comes to radiators, should I stick to the adage of you get what you pay for or would this radiator suffice?

You get what you pay for applies with everything. I've never heard of that brand but you might check the coolant passages, I've seen very small passages in the cheaper radiators that don't flow as well as the better ones with the larger stock type passages.
