Hey /o/

I'm writing to ask if anyone of you have first or secondhand experience with non name brand Ebay silicone coolant hoses.

I have been looking for a set for my 1986 AW11 Mr2, and the only set of silicone lines that I have been able to find are Chinese sellers on Ebay, and one fellow located in the U.K. whose prices are 3x and up on the coolant hose sets.

My hoses are currently fine, I'm just doing this in a preventative manner.

the link below is the set I'm considering.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stoney-Racing-Toyota-MR2-MK1-Silicone-Ancillary-Coolant-Hose-Kit-AW11/171796629850?_trkparms=aid%3D555017%26algo%3DPL.CASSINI%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D41376%26meid%3D98bfee91ec314da4b4d88a80d5355666%26pid%3D100505%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26&_trksid=p2045573.c100505.m3226

This is the one non Chinese seller that I have found,and with the exchange rate and shipping it ends up being nearly $160.00, whereas the other kit listed above is $59.00 shipped.

Is the price difference worth it? Will these lines Burst? Will they be able to handle the Montana Winter of -20 F?

I will also somewhat shamefully admit that I purchased several lengths of bright red silicone vacuum lines and replaced the spider web of lines inside my engine bay, also as preventative maintenance, and found those lines to be high quality and they haven't melted yet.

I'm not doing this to be rice or anything, I just don't like the idea of a line bursting on me one day, and I believe the lines are all original from 86'

Unfortunately, it also appears that mishimoto doesn't make any hoses for the aw11 as well.

You can't just get regular rubber hoses?

I can try to piece a set together on rockauto I suppose. I've heard silicone is much better however.

It would be difficult to piece together a rubber kit for the price if that chinkshit silicone kit... which is probably decent quality and more reliable than the 30 year old crap you have now. It says to tell them the color you want - ask for black to be non-rice.

But I want blue so it stays colder.

I unironically think blue hoses look great
