Do your self a favor mate and give Amcap a call with your vin no and go collect your genuine radiator for $303.

13/39 Pilbara Street Welshpool WA 6106
(08) 9351 6666

Replaced the radiator on my brothers sti last week. They've come down in price and are a good radiator for the money.
On top add the following and you're good for a while

Genuine coolant
Thermostat while you are replacing the radiator. You can pick up a thermostat for pretty cheap from Subaru with a seal
Engine flush while you have the chance
Bleed/burp the cooling system

If you can do it all your self it will be a bonus on your behalf as you will save on labor if anyone else was to do it

If you manage to get your hands on one, would recommend changing it over yourself. I've done it once and I had no exp prior, was easy as shit.
