Has anyone had any experience with these two silicone hoses makers ,JS Performance and Roose Motorsport. Just wondering because the JS hoses are £30 cheeper would people say the Roose ones are worth the extra cash
cheers

Iv got full Roose kit, cost me about 600 all in. They are good hoses worth the extra imo

The silly cheap ones will be China specials (the expensive ones might be too). You can get them made for less if you can be bothered to hunt down the manufacturer.

All mine are Roose. Most are very good, the turbo feed one was utter sh*te tho and i have to send them mine to use as a template to get it to fit.

Also happy with my Roose hoses but no experience of JS, other cheaper separate hoses I've bought off eBay etc seem just as good on the surface.

No complaints with my Roose hoses. They are for sale as well if you've got a c14/16 engine and probs most small blocks.

Roose are decent. Also try looking up Stoney Racing, they do some cheap silicone stuff, a lot of the jap boys love them. Not sure if they do any GM kits but I know they do custom minimum-number/group buy runs so they may be able to come up with something.

You wont go far wrong with Roose parts. They often need a little trimming, but thats far better than not being long enough. He's making me up some custom hoses at the moment too so il re-post when they arrive to say how it went.

Just to throw a curve ball in, I was in the paddock at Thruxton last weekend for the BTCC. A fair few cars had JS hoses fitted.

I know you can go off a pic too much but the JS ones do look good and if they are good enough for BTCC then good enough for me when I get the pennys together I'm going to grab some and I'll dig this thread up and say what I think.
So of guys talk of have them made up I was just looking at a set made for c20xe in a nova
