#192786 well i was driving home today and all of the sudden my car smelled like coolant steam when everywhere and my car died. My radiator had cracked. i just filled it up with a ton of water and got home real quick. :(

my question is what radiator should i buy now.

i have a d16z6. should i stick with the oem or upgrade?
should i get a koyo, denzo, or aftermarket?

#192830 rockauto.com good price on parts. i got my rad from there. just an oem receplacement. i don't see a need in getting an aftermarket unless you have some serious engine work done.

#195331 If you're going to get one with plastic end tanks like OEM, just get the cheapest one you can find. There is no sense wasting money on OEM when any aftermarket is the same thing. I just ordered one for my EF from Summit for $90. That's pretty cheap and they ship fast.

If you want to upgrade, you're looking for metal end tanks. These cost quite a bit more.
