Default Silicone hose kits ( whats good?)

Im looking to replace a lot of the old the old hoses in my GC8 with Blu Silicone ones but unsure what to buy ,I have no idea what brands are of sound quality?.

Theres full hose kits on ebay ie GPI Racing but at only $57.00 the whole kit ,I would hazzard to guess would be rubbish quality?. I just don't want to fit some and then have a Coolant hose rupture.... any help ,much appreciated

Samco are good but lot more expensive i had some of those GPI racing ones only vacuum hosing though and you can definitely tell the quality difference between the two.

Samco are good quality as mentioned above. OEM Subaru are still available as well (rubber, but should be good for a decade or two). I went through and replaced mine with all new Subaru items.

Make sure to replace the factory hose clamps too, a bunch of mine leaked shortly after I replaced everything. They lose their tension and aren't worth reusing.

For the GC8, does Subaru sell them as a complete kit for the engine?

I ordered them individually, not sure if they were available as a kit. I got them a few at a time, didn't realise I would end up changing them all out at first
