I'm in the process of replacing the radiator in my Corolla; top plastic tank got a pinhole leak that turned into a geyser. Went with a Denso replacement. Car has a tick over 200K; the factory radiator hoses still look good but since it will all be apart, I figure I'll do the hoses since I plan on driving the car into the ground.
The title says it all; those are my local choices for hoses. I've read Napa = Gates. What should I use??? I'm leaning towards the Napa since they are cheaper. My main concern is fitment and total diameter being equal to the factory hoses so I can reuse the factory spring clamps.
Thoughts? Thanks!
