all of em!.... well the ones people mainly colour code if you like?
I found braided sleeves for dirt cheap money on purepassionracing.com
and thought yeah that might look pretty cool!
I just haven't got the money to by samco's at the mo!
umm id advise to stay away from the overbraid shit. It can mask problems with the hoses, eg if you head gasket fails in a particular way then the hoses will pressurise and you wont be able to tell due to the overbraid
save that money and put it towards the samco kit.
