    Are CSF AC condensers any good? I've had good luck with their radiators but thought I'd see if others had any recommendations.

    To me, the only brand I avoid like the plague is 4seasons. Some stuff may be OK, like a drier, orifice tube, accumulator, etc but def avoid their compressors evaps and other high labor jobs. I really haven't had issues with any brand aside from 4seasons. Stuff Like condensers and evaps get all made the same Cpl Factories (llike radiators do) and just get rebranded, so I wouldn't hesitate to use that condenser. The only time I'm ever brand-dependent is with compressors. Condensers, suction lines, driers, o-tubes, and accumulators I tend to use what's available to me.

    Yeah I tried the same and unfortunately the condenser I bought unfortunately will always blow a seal at the same spot when trying to charge it. Holds vacuum just fine..
    But not pressure.

    I put a uac condenser in my old impala a few months back, and it is working great so far. I'm just a hack though. lol

    I'll second the UAC stuff. I replaced my condenser and compressor 5 years ago and it died last year on me. The condenser has some pinholes somewhere and the compressor has a locked clutch. But I'm sure I could rebuild it
