Im looking to buy a Mishimoto radiator. I know we've got a few of their rep's floatin around on here... Best ive found thus far is $220 shipped on ebay. Any place have them cheaper?
And is a rotor a rotor? Meaning- can I buy ebay rotors, or should I stick to pepboys or something. I can get drilled rotors on ebay for about $35 a peice for no names, versus about $45 a peice for blank no names (durastop or something) at pepboys. Should I invest in legitimate Brembo rotors, or get cheap rotors and use the leftover for quality pads?

I bought Stop Tech rotors/pads on eBay all arround for my GTO for like $225 shipped to my door. To be honest, they are just about as good as my DBA 4000XS/Hawk HSP setup was that cost me $750+. I have about 4000 miles on them and did many high speed stops. No issues. Hell, they have maybe 1/4 of the brake dust too. I've read good reviews on a few foroms about this brand as well. They customer service is awsome. Corvette forum guy tracked his car and warped. Posted about it and one of their reps joined up and replaced them no questions asked even though no parts are covered under racing use. Here is the link to the company I bought mine from and will buy from again for the GTO if needed and any car I buy in the future. Shipping was fast and they were well packaged too.

As far as radiator... is there any reason you need a high end one? I doubt you will gain anything from it VS going with an OEM replacement. I'm using a Silla in the GTO I feel no difference with the car. If anything, it feels like my car takes longer to warm up then it used to.
