Curious to see what has work best for everyone? I just replaced the rubber line going to the cooling feed on my 95' t5-r, and it's already leaking.
I see they offer silicone versions on eBay. I replaced mine with a new uro unit from fcp, which has know sprung leaks at both ends. Is the dealership version going to differ?
Thanks in advance!

Just go to the dealer. Its $5 and will work for 100+k. The dealer part has a silicone sleeve inside the rubber hose.

^^^^ if its the short stubby one i'm thinking about that loves to expand, go with OEM and make sure its the new style. It is severely reinforced and as of now i'm not sure of a suitable replacement for that hose. May have found someone who sells the silicone version of the hose, but, i highly doubt it can compete with the blue box hose, as it is solid
