I was told they are different because of the support brackets are differenent and sensor location are different tooo. Aftermarket wise it will be the same issue depending brands as I purchase a aftermarket one before and the seller stated it was for dc5r/ep3 but unfortunately mounting points for the fan and sensors did not lined up at all so becareful.

If your planning on getting a new OEM ep3 radiator you might as well spend the money on aftermarket one such as Koyo or you could try Mishimoto ( you need to do more research on this as its made for the ep3 si model).

Cannot find a decent priced local alloy one other than KLS on ebay and their listing is dc5r ep3 so not sure to trust it or not. Happy to pay up to around $400 give or take $100... would of rathered genuine new but honda quoted too much

Kls doesn't fit our cars from experience. You could try tigwa but fitment will need a bit of playing around.
