What local Stores sell Vac (Silicone) Hose by size and length?
Looking for the standard vac replacement hoses... silicone, preferrably colored....
curious if any local stores would sell the 4mm/6mm/10mm lines. (I.E. Lowe's or Home Depot) I know autozone has "kits" but that has a lot of hose that wouldn't be used.
Any idea where I could pick some of this up in AZ?

Be careful with those Autozone silicone hose kits. They suck ***. I bought a kit for my turboII and a few of the hoses near the turbo either melted off or melted shut. The silicone they use for those hoses isnt good for turbocharged cars. I yanked out those hoses and replaced them with good quality silicone hoses designed for high heat applications and never had a problem with them again. My friend has the autozone kit on his n/a and its still working good.
I also saw a WRX at SuperAutobacs and noticed they were using the cheapie silicone lines. Some of the hoses near the turbo were melted shut and looked just like mine. That car was a show car inside their shop.
Moral of the story: Buy good silicone hose and stay away from those ricer packs at Autozone. If the kit is $30 dollars, stay away. If the kit is $100 dollars buy it.
