Length and width of silicone hose
Hey!! Im ready to do the silicone switchover since my car is now collecting dust for the time being. I've seen on many different sites, that advertise 3mm, then other sites offring 4 mm. then i see some places that offer it in 10 ft of hose. other places get as much as 30 ft of hose. I personally ordered a hose kit from a local speedshop, and i got a kit made by R.S. Akimoto.
The kit includes: 10 ft of 3mm, 5 ft of 6mm, and 2 ft of 10 mm.
Am i going to need more of the 3mm? Or will i need more of anything else? Or will i pretty much be set on hose for the swap? Thanks in advance.

Arrrgh, i found the numbers. 35 ft of 4mm, and 10 ft of 6mm. and after reading rob robinettes site, he said tripoint quoted $500. The quote on the sites seems that price is low. . .from how i understood it.

Is the price supposed to be higher than that? 2 different speedshops near me quoted roughly $275. How much did you guys pay for your hose job?
