So today I was changing the oil on the s2k, and realized there was coolant everywhere in the engine bay so upon inspection noticed a hairline crack toward the top... Anyways wanted to ask for your help on what everyone thinks is the best aluminum radiator that I should pick up. Help me out!

I'd just buy an OEM one and be done with it.

Agreed on this one but the Mishi can be had for almost the same amount as the OEM and adds that bling factor with slightly better cooling benefit over the factory radiator. IMO

Thanks Everyone for your input, I did think about just going Oem, but as intense stated I can get the mishi or koyo for not much more, and looks nicer under the hood. When something breaks its time to upgrade! :thumbup:
