Default Lower radiator hose goes "DriP...DriP....DriP"

So I'm sure we are all familiar with the problem of trying to get the teg radiator hose...but it still never fits quit right. I'm sick of loosing coolant, so I figured it's time to invest in some new hoses, so I got a couple questions to ask you guys:

1. Has anyone had any succes with the flexible radiator hoses, for instance the ones sold by summitracing and other companies

2. Has anyone had any success with the samco sport hoses that passwordjdm.com is now selling. They list their application for a B16 in a CRX, however I have an LS/VTEC motor....should work, right?

3. Final question, does anyone know the diamter of the upper and lower hose ends on the radiator...just incase I decide to go with the flexible hoses.

Thanks for all your help guys, I hope someone can chime in and lmk a permanent fix, I'm not about ghetto rigging it together just to 'get by'.

I used the Integra hose and double clamped it on the radiator. It has NEVER leaked or seeped or anything. Your mileage may vary...

Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what the issue is, but I wouldn't mind dressing things up a bit either, so anyone with experience on the samco hoses or flexible braided ones...chime in.
