Default Which Radiator Do You Prefer (base on cost and performance)???

Ok thanks for the responses guys, unfortunately I have another question about this that no one has even touched....

If I want to keep my A/C Condensor, in my EK (96-00 for all the idiots), whats the best radiator for the money? Also, its going in for the D-series buildup....please keep that in mind.

i just bought the koyo del sol vtec radiator from radiator.com like you guys recommended. Thanks for this advice. I'm partial to oem parts.

If you are going to buy from radiator.com use this coupon code: AC116

it'll save you 20 bucks. I just got the koyo one for 117 SHIPPED AFTER taxes.

I got the C&R with the front mount push Spal fan. Even though its a little more costly, it was well worth it. I had the del sol dual core before and switched to the C&R. With the front mount thin fan it free'd up a lot of space to work on the H22 and the car stays really cool. If interested call C&R and ask for Rob Cordona. Great guy and great to deal with. I got the Radiator, Fan, and Stant 19-21 cap for $460 shipped to my door.
