Post Radiator cracked

My radiator cracked and i need a good replacement, instead of buying factory i thought i should just upgrade to a performance radiator, so im looking for sugestions/prices on radiators. Ive looked at a few the best one for the price so far i found is by cx racing, any info or suggestions would be awesome.

Hello,
I would get a say get a standard radiator, after market one the lowest price, and save the money to do something that will give you more power or more fuel savings. The radiator will only cool the engine and not much more. You can google radiator and find a good one for about $120. I did and replaced it on my last car no more problems. Hope you solve the problem and keep us posted, we all want to know. Thanks 2010civiclx

Ha Ha im such a dumbass, i thought it was leaking from the bottom. I just went out to check something out on a hunch, and wanted to be sure it was a crack, so i took the cap off and then sealed off the resevoir hose, then with the palm of my hand sealed the cap opening and sqeezed the hose to the block nothing came out. I put the cap back on and did the same thing and fluid spewed everywhere from under the cap, shuuuuw im glad its just a bad radiator cap and not a bad radiator. sorry for the double post my computers actin wierd.
