Replacement heater/radiator hoses
Is there a good Silicone kit or quality rubber kit to do all the hoses (both radiator and heater) for a 1994 accord? Or will something like a set of Prelude hoses fit and work out the same? I've searched both ebay (And Im not too keen on the chinese stuff) and places with the expensive hoses are more for the 98-02 accord or civic and other stuff and the what not.
As a rule of thumb (and this particular case included) you're better off buying the pieces yourself instead of a kit. Kits often have low quality parts to meet certain price points and are no-name brand parts.
Stick with a real manufacturer of rubber hoses like Gates. You should be able to find most of the hoses you need on RockAuto. Best to match them up by shape since the descriptions can be confusing (pipe to pipe, heater to pipe, valve to block, etc). Also if you can't find a particular small heater hose you can use some universal transmission cooler hose. This type of hose bends well without kinking and you can find it at basically any auto parts store priced per foot.

I appreciate that. I've decided to go with the dayco heater ones as Ive had good luck with these in the past on my civic. I will look for some Gates radiator hoses themselves.
