Question anyone with a Spectra Premium radiator?
I've heard good things about these, looking to buy one. My main concern is that, the manufacturer warns it might need to be installed from the bottom with a lift. If this is the case i'm not too keen on it. Can anyone here verify how easy they are to install?

Spectra is one of the oldest brands in the business. They make many OE parts for several brands.
