My buddy got a cheapy off of stealthmode and it works great...probably about the same quality as the ebay types. I prefer the brass draincock since the ******* don't break apart, but then again, they could give you a leak.

The last cheap rad I bought (from autozone) had a cheap and poorly made draincock that had to be tighted so much just for it to seal...I'm sure the thing is going to break next time it gets loosened (car is sold, so whatever).

I've heard bad stories about some of the ebay rads, but I can't say I've ever seen anything bad happen with them first-hand.

edit:
After looking at those links you posted, damn they are cheap!

I paid $60 shipped just for my inch thick oem style half-rad off of honda-tech...and the thing got here with a "custom" bend across the whole damn thing...

I'd be most concerned about the shipping policy w/them on ebay. I've only ever bought two rads online, but both times, they were quite damaged when they got to my house. The one place gave me a 100% refund, but the other made me go through the post office, who said it would take months to resolve, so I just ended up using it.

I bought the last one you have a link to and it fits great, works great and was shipped in a decent box with packaging. The sticker on the rad cap fell off after a few days but that is probably better since it had a bunch of chinese wrinting on it. I actually bid on the d series one by accident and sent them an email and they sent me the b16 one without hassle. I would definately buy from "Just-intercoolers" again.
