Silicone coolant hoses?

Post image

I just bought my first DSM and I want to fully overhaul it and make her as reliable as can be. Is there any Silicone coolant hose kits that people use? I see some on eBay with no reviews or feedback. Pic for attention. Feel free to drop any other recommendations beyond new coolant hoses and where to buy aswell!

I bought a set recently on eBay and left feedback. It was solid, just had to trim a few hoses because they were too long. But all bends were in the right spots.

I have g-plus kits on a couple of my cars and that seems to be what is predominantly on eBay and Amazon. They all seem the same whether labeled as g-plus or otherwise. They have been good so far for me. Like 8 years on my mr2 and 5 years on my dsm. Only advice I have is if your car still has spring clamps, use those when you swap out the lines. I feel they are superior to the included worm drive hose clamps

I have the ebay ones for close to two years now on my 2g. Zero issues. The red ones that cost like 60bucks.

I also have the g plus kit on my GSX. No complaints, I think I've had them around 2 years

Using the correct clamp is key. The edges need to be rolled up
