I removed the intake manifold so I'm I'm replacing lots of parts... For one, when replacing the coolant expansion tank, the thermostat under it (which I didn't even know existed) will most likely break... I was also unlucky and when removing the coolant pipes I broke a piece of the auxiliary water pump, which is unfortunately more expensive than the primary water pump.

For the thermostat+housing I'd recommend Four Seasons from Rockauto. It's aluminum and will last forever.
For the water pump, I got Beck/Arnley which comes with a metal impeller, so it will also never break. It says on both the box and on the pump itself that it's made in Germany   I replaced all the hoses with Gates, which as far as I know is a great company. Unfortunately most of then seem to be made in China, and only some of them are from US, Turkey, Mexico and Germany. I also replaced WP pulley and PS pulleys with aluminum ones instead of plastic.
