They look ok. Didn't know they had those. You can see in one of the pics how it has several layers, so I'd say go for it.

They are made by OBX, and I'd worry about the quality.
If you want a VERY good set of hoses, in a MUCH wider variety of colors, let me know and contact me via PM or IM. I canhook you up with the hoses we got in the other thread.

Not to mention, this kit has 3 hoses.

I've got those hoses...put 'em on a week ago. They require some modification (to be expected- they're obx). Top hose is 2-3 inches too long; requires a little trim to fit, but after that, it's fine. Bottom hose is 1-2 inches short of perfect, and bent at a slightly different angle- I only had to stretch the bend about an inch to get it to fit. No problems/leaks after a week of driving...time will tell.
I needed hoses quick, and wasn't aware of the SAMCO hoses at the time. If the obx wear out (or, more accurately, when they wear out), I'll spring for the SAMCO's if they're available.

I'd highly recommend that you buy a set of the Samco's then sell your OBX's my mang.

Yup.
No one makes hoses for the RD, they are GK hoses. You just have to shorten them a bit.
