Question Busted Radiator - Need some advice/help

Hi Folks,

My radiator cracked/busted the other day and I need to buy a new one and replace. Couple questions:

1. Where do you recommend I buy (ebay, parts store, online?) the radiator and hoses. I'm thinking of going OEM style unless aftermarket is better. Direct links and part numbers, manufacturers would be helpful.

2. Are there any instructions online on how to replace it? I know it is probably self explanatory but it wouldn't be bad to have a step by step.

3. What coolant do you use? OEM Lexus or off the shelf from Kragen/Pep boys?

My car is a 92 SC300 with a 1Jz swap.

Thanks in advance!
