buying this radiator... is it worth it?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-93...=p4506.c0.m245

It's a cheap radiator... I don't know too much about them or which quality is the best to get... Anybody care to share their intuition?

It's a craps shoot. Some owners seem happy, others complain of hairline cracks under pressure. When one owner called the seller about lifetime warranty, they told him it's his cooling system's pressure problem from what I can google.

However, the more common aftermarkets Proliance and Spectrum Premium seem to have gone down in quality as well.

If there are different versions then get the one with more rows or a thicker core. I'd also check out Koyo radiators on eBay.

Here is the Koyo link from eBay. $83.99. Verify your application. I've never bought one from eBay, but let us know how things turn out.
