your car should not be overheating on a regular basis...I think it a sign of something bigger that a new radiator might not fix.
but as for fan choice...I say push. Think about it. intercooler?

The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change. It's just a pity the management system is so fucking temperamental.

Use a pull fan, on the same side the fan is already on. Honda engineered it that way for a reason 
Darius what does an intercooler have to do with fans? How many fans do you have on your intercooler?
But since you got me on intercoolers lets talk about it. An intercooler works when air is passed over the fins and cools the inside content correct? Wouldn't this be the same reason for the radiator? It's in the front of the car and the inside content cools when air is rushed over the fins to cool the fluid inside the radiator. Also, when your stopped and intercooler isn't getting much air/if any. The reason to use a pull fan 1) is cause it's to much work to mount a fan in front and 2) you will be drawing less ambient air than if you were to pull it through. I hope this makes since. If not someone else please take a crack at it.

if your fans are turning on then it is not the fan and you do not need to replace them... if they are not turning on then you have a problem with either the fan or the fan switch...
also, it could be the thermostate...
if non of the above... then it is either a cracked radiator (if fluid is low)... if not then it could be your water pump...
this is an easy system and there are only a few parts to them... look it over a little better and get back to us...

I stand corrected on the push fan suggestion. Curious....when would a push fan be useful?

Don't get me wrong man, I'm not trying to be a dick!
sorry if it seemed that way.Push fans would be useful in tight spaces....IE My heat exchanger on my liquid to air intercooler. Due to space I could only run a push fan
Sorry again Darius!

lol Kris I was just BS'in man...forgot to put the smiley @ the end.
and to clarify I suggested the intercooler thing because I was thinking of the air being blocked by it and that a push fan would help out with the restricted air flow.
don't pay any attention to me in the tech forums. I don't know what I'm talking about.
