a radiator change for the summer

hey guys i wanted change my radiator the reason why is that I dont know how old it is when i first bought the car which ive had now for 3 years now, a couple years ago when i put i put a new motor in, the radiator had sum punctures which had leaks. Then i took it to the radiator shop for repairing, and the radiator has been fine since then,but summer is coming and it gets to 115 to 120 degrees and i dont want to have any problems during this heat season.

Also i would like to kno what radiators is everyone using i.e. like stock or any radiator with great cooling performance thank u any suggestions would be great

IMO if it isn't broke don't fix it. The stock radiator has tons of cooling capacity and then some. The best radiator for the price is OEM.

How did they repair the leaks? If they plugged up some of the tubes, it might result in reduced cooling capacity. But I'd wait and see if you have a problem, before replacing something you don't know is faulty.
