Which Hoses - Forge Samco or THS?

[CupraR_Lad]

Not sure what hoses to go for,I know that Forge are really good,but expensive!
Samco are probably around the same price if not more! Phillc was saying that THS are good!

Could anyone say anything about these,there a lot cheaper compared to Forge and Samco,but look just as good!just don't know how they perform!

I also found this on ebay,which is a far price to be honest!

I have done all my hoses now bar one and have gone forge all the way.
A lot of people will probably big up THS now but i havent tried them and its a bit late to now as well.
Forge stuff is expensive but it is quality stuff and you get the aftercare.
I haven't actually done my coolant hoses yet as the air ones are far more important and where the performance will be lost due to failure

I fitted a THS tip and it did the job nicely. The coolant hose set is still to be fitted.
Both seem to be well made and the cost suited my budget.

Which to chose is entirly down to you.

I cannot comment on the Forge or Samco, only people like RobDon who have tried every pipe under the sun can really

You know the answer Wayne, THS

I've tried to change the coolant hoses in my LCR with the Forge 7 piece coolant kit but 3 of them won't fit at all.
Has anyone else had this problem?

i looked at gettin the forge hoses, but i noticed some cheaper versions. i looked at my mates forge hose in red looks good only a few week old but the quality of this hose doesnt look the best on the joins it looked like it had just been taped round n sprayed red. it looked quite bad and i always thought forges handy work was very good but after seeing this im thinking of going for different brand.

I fitted a THS TIP this weekend and it was a straight swop no messing with the other pipes to make it fit etc i would highly recommend them

Yup THS TIP here too straight swap no bother at all, well made and excellent service and discount from them..
