Coolant hose kit?

Are there any coolant hose kit available in silicone for upper and lower hoses along with all the rest of the coolant hoses?

i think you're referring to pure silicon vacuum type hoses. these are lined with some FKM aka Viton (you can see different layers and colors) typical for pre-formed hoses

I messaged the seller from eBay, he swapped the upper radiator hose for a evo 6 to match my setup. $100 shipped via PayPal. Thanks again

I have one straight house and two longer hoses I have no idea where they go. The 6 upper hose is a bit long to use with a Mishimoto radiator. Otherwise it’s pretty good and I would recommend the kit if changing hoses. Stock spring clamps do not work on this application.

you'd want shinny new spring clamps anyway. pretty sure I used the original clamps for rad hoses and heater core. I dont use worm clamps anywhere in this car
got a pic of the ones you didnt use? you probably deleted some hoses already

I have one that’s straight that I didn’t use and I’m pretty sure two for power steering. I did have block offs to the throttle body but did use them this time. Unfortunately the spring clamps did not fit over the stock hoses. I’m unsure if they’ve made them thicker since you purchased.
