Default Fluidyne or C&R ?? Which one do you prefer?

Well..I am in the process of purschasing a new cooling system for my integra. My stock one is taking a dump on me..and leaking at the top. Anyhow, I am trying to figure out what brand of aftermarket radiators I should go towards. I have heard good things about both...but I thought maybe some of you can tell me some experiences you have with either of the two brands mentioned above....as far as the quality and cooling results.

Thanks ..here are pics of the two..

Fluidyne

uhh why pay that much for those radiator's? they're like a few grand a piece. c&r, fluidyne, koyo all perform WELL enough and cost more than half the price.

I chose C&R because they already come mounted with a fan. Also beautiful craftsmanship. Afterhourz has a group buy for $399.95. I got mine from them and was extremely pleased.

you can't go wrong with either one, their both around the same price and both are high quality. I know the C&R comes with a good fan. I guess it just comes down to preference. My vote would go towards C&R, only because I can get a slightly better deal. If it was vice versa then I would get the Fluidyne. Good Luck.

gee Im a bit confused Maybe this will sum it...I talked to C&R Racing last week and sent them some pics of my car. They are willing to set me up with a Great deal...which consist of... C&R Radiator with Fan, Silicone radiator Hoses...all for 250 shipped...where the Best price I could get on the fluidyne is 300.00 for just the radiator.

I was just questioning ...is there quality differences..or even cooling differences for me to fork out the extra cash for the fluidyne?

Thanks for all your opinions and help

Both are very well made. Just go with whichever you can find cheaper. $250 for the C&R is a smoking deal...I'd jump all over that.
