2005 civic lx coupe (manual) recommendations for upgraded radiator?

[KaiCivic]

Hello I am a young guy looking to get an upgraded radiator for my em2 civic, since the original one cracked. I’m looking for help on getting a new one. Any recommendations?

A lot of good options out there. If the car is stock, just stick with a stock radiator. Sacramento doesn't get too cold so you could just sit with the normal 70/30 coolant mix year-round as well.

But if you are dead set on upgrading, Mishimoto makes good upgraded radiators. Check the shop page here on CC.

Thanks for the opinion. I think I’ll just stick with stock then.

Post some pictures of your car if you are into modifying or simply just maintaining.

Replaced my radiator last summer. think it was around $50 on rock auto.

also, while you have the coolant drained, it's a good time to replace the thermostat, and hoses.
Ask me how i know.
