Default 2008 ls460

Hello. I have a 2008 LS460 with almost 150,000 miles on it. It needs a radiator ASAP. Does it matter if I use a radiator from the local auto parts store that has a life-time warranty? I also need a brake actuator. The dealer's charges are over $4,000 for these repairs so I am using a local mechanic.Should I use genuine lexus parts; if so, please give me a reliable online Lexus parts dealer. Thanks!

I used a radiator I got on Ebay and it was still performing flawlessly after 3 years and 60k plus miles when I traded the car in. I paid about 60 bucks for it lol. It came with a lifetime warranty as well. Similar to this deal: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/DPI13018-Rad...Jc2xWe&vxp=mtr

The Denso radiator in the other thread that you can get for 150 from Amazon is the happy medium between cheap and reliable.
