The Good:
Love it.
The Unfortunate:
Had a slow leak at one of the sc radiator connections (possibly installation error, connector was just a little bit loose), noticed early and fixed quickly. Also had a slow leak from the oil cooler pipe where it connects to the AN fitting (pipe had a small crack), possibly another one from the seal under the thermostatic oil adapter. Bought everything new from JR for the oil cooler kit aside from the oil radiator and radiator mounting bracket, had them replaced and shipped old parts to JR for inspection. Waiting to hear from JR if I'll get any refunds for parts under warranty.
The Conclusion:
None of this was a big deal - I'd buy the JR SC kit and the JR oil cooler again without hesitation, great upgrade for this car.

Update: Given that both leaks may have been caused by installation error (wouldn't be surprised given my other experiences with the shop), I didn't expect more than an explanation, but JR helped me out anyway. Leaks are long gone now and JR earned my business for life.
