You could have put me down for 2 sets but I changed all my hoses on both cars last summer. They were all still the original hoses on both cars.

what are the advantages??

Silicone hoses can withstand more heat and generally last longer than their OEM counterparts. They do not get brittle or hard with age.
Some claim they are good for the life of the car.

IMO this is a no brainer upgrade. Put me down for a set if they will work on the "S".

I just replaced all my hoses

If these would have happened 2 months ago, I would have done it.

Silicone hoses are great! In addition to the points Hacker posted above, they also seal better, as the inner "skin" is a bit softer than rubber.

Sounds great as I am going to replace all my hoses soon. Do you also have the rounded edge hose clamps to fit all the new hoses? Maybe put them in a with or with out type kit.

It would be cool to have a set of Norma, Euro style, clamps to go with these.

Very interested as I know how invaluable these hoses are going to be from a maintenance point of view.
Subscribed and listening.

Very interested. Put me down for a set.

Norma vs normal....im not seeing much difference....mabey its just me, but a hose clamp seems like a hose clamp.... (that is if quality of the hose clamps are also the same)

OK sounds good put me down for a set for '86 NA.

The rounded edge hose clamps do not cut into the hose as a cheap hose clamp will do over time and seal better. Look at how a German hose clamp is made, smooth inside with no cut ridges as found with the screw type clamp.

That's true, but I've had problems with the OEM clamps just not holding tight enough to seal.

hell yes... ill take one of these kits now...

Whatever trips your trigger, unless the size is not available I only use Wurth Norma Hose Clamps on my cars.
Specifically the Euro style, not domestic. Yes there is a difference.

If anything they simply look better on a German car versus the more common zebra style clamp.

Where do we buy such clamps?
