Any suggestions on changing out a radiator in a 96 lx?

Cost is a consideration.

Good after market vs Honda?

gg

I used an after market unit from O'Riley's autoparts. No way in hell was I paying 265 bucks for a plastic Honda radiator.

You can get an all-aluminum one that will never crack made by Koyo on ebay. They're usually 100-200 but worth it because they'll last a lifetime compared to the plastic units that will no doubt crack.

The one I replaced it with is noticeably different than the Honda one, but its fits and has worked fine for over 8k miles. The plastic tank of this radiator seems much better.

It was $99.95 with a lifetime warranty. :yes:

I went to ebay couple years back and bought one for like 60 bucks its easy to in install it yourself.

www.radiator.com which is a link off of 1800radiator. Around $100 and is mostly supplied by oem manufacturers. You can get a price online for your application.
