One of the plastic end tanks from the radiator that connects back to the overflow tank broke (disintegrated really) when I was replacing my old my tank and now my radiator is leaking so I need to replace it asap.
Preferably stock, because I was looking online and it looks like the Koyo and mishimoto are missing the fittings on the bottom half of the radiator where the AC components connect.
Thanks

the prices seem really good, but by chance do you know the quality of the other replacement radiators aside from koyo, I never heard of the other brands...
Thanks for your help

Quality of my Koyo was fine but I am having higher temps than I was before with the factory unit. But if you don't track your car it is not an issue. Also try a local radiator shop, they will offer a warranty. Also, try www.rockauto.com, their customer service is top notch.

No just my DD, I just need IT to stop sending coolant all over the place after everydrive. LOL
Is your car a 6speed?
How was the fitment of the Koyo? Any issues?
Thanks

Yes my car is a six speed, fitment was perfect, no issues at all. Koyo makes and OEM replacement , not just an all aluminum. But as long as it's warrantied it should not be an issue.

Cool, at least I have a back up if I can't find an OEM one.
