Default Silicone hose kits ????

Looking to replace my standard black water hoses with fancy blue ones. Don't really want to go Samco if I can help it as they are sooooo expensive (yes I know they are fantastic quality).
Does anybody have any ideas who could help me out, hoping to do the top and bottom radiator hoses and the smaller ones from the header tank, plus any other ones you chaps suggest.
If anybody has some pics of their bay with these hoses done them that would be much appreciated too.

Thanks, matt...

To be honest the SFS and Viper Performance hoses (both of which are also made in the UK) are about the same price as the Samco ones.

I would not buy the cheap eBay/Chinese copies as they are poor quality and can be a bugger to fit.

As greatgonzo said "buy cheap buy twice!"

Don't worry buddy, deffo wont be doing that.
If I have to I'll pay the extra and buy quality, just wondered if there were any cheaper options that people have used without any problems..
Very nearly bought a complete kit of eBay last night for £50, then I pinched myself and realized what I was doing, lol.

SFS or 'sacked from Samco' as we call them are great, Samco are of slightly better quality..

SFS are the ones to go for. we run them on the universities Impreza. we get them for free or cheap as SFS like to use university projects to promote their products!

I use ASH silicone hoses mat. Never had any issues with them what so ever, and you know how fussy I am. Good quality reasonably priced.

He sold them yesterday, GUTTED...

If anybody else has a set to sell them give me a shout. I'd rather buy good second hand over new.

Hey Matt, the forge ones I showed to you on the weekend are pretty good quality I think. Got them from this place on ebay, price wasn't to bad.
Not sure if they have the ones you need but maybe have a looksie?
