If you want the steel braided ones by FEED, you could probably get them from jt-imorts.com

If you are using a SMIC (like my Greddy), then I sugest reusing the rubber sleeves from the old hoses because mine rubed and got damaged.

or just buy the stock hoses for $12-15 each from these guys http://www.mazdadiscountparts.com/

$150 bucks for two radiator hoses? that is insane, I don't care how colorful they are

Click "here" for CymGirl's thread on this.

You don't buy them to add color.
You replace the rubber radiator hoses with silicone for the same reason you do the vacuum hoses ...you don't want them to burst!

If you recognize the RX-7 as high maintenance instead of low reliability and change the hoses yearly with each radiator flush then you don't need to get either silicone or steel braided hoses, but some people want top of the line parts.

btw: The FEED hoses are approximately $200.00

if the difference is only $50, then I would go with the FEED hoses any day.

Firing up this thread again to see who is actually running the stainless steel braided radiator hose from Jegs....Reason for FLEX: Installed Greddy FMIC and stock preformed hoses don't fit...Jason at the RX7Store can get them but I want to see what they look like...

I'm curious. Are the FEED stainless radiator hoses...using rubber hoses? (I'm guessing yes, but I want a confirmed answer).
