my radiator is leaking and i'm not looking for anythign super special but i thought going aluminum would be worth the money. is it? or should i just go to a junkyard and get an OE replacement?

do you have an electric fan? if so search for the universal fit one. its only about 180.

its like 3 inches thick though so your stock fan won't work with it...

When my stock rad went I went to a local radiator shop and got a copper 3 core rad for $160. Works awsome and from what I hear cools better than aluminum because copper dissipates heat faster. So you can still get yourself a good 3 core rad for $100 bucks less. Just an option.

so you suggest calling around for copper? does it get damaged easier? if i'm right i think copper is softer than aluminum, lol. i dont know if it will make a big diff considering that lx bumper covers like 3/4 of the radiator anyways
