Title says it all, I just got my Koyo (OE) radiator and i want to go with some durable hoses to replace my OE ones (car has 113k on the odo).

Anyhow, I really like the Samco units SPL sells, but that's way too much $ i think. Are the OBX ones any good? And I am looking at my FSM here and it looks like the S14 OBX hose kit looks the same as the 91-94 S13's radiator hoses.

I apologize if this has been posted before, i have done a search and it yielded someone asking if the S14 OBX hose-kit would fit a pig-nose S13 (not what i was looking for specifically).

Opinions? Links?

Thanks in advance...

Somebody *has* to know. SPL can't be the only place that sells them for the KA.

the obx ones are the only other ones that i know of but i wouldn't trust something like those to obx. if you can't afford the samco then just get oe. the samco are well worth the money though.
