Goodyear Hi Miler kit for 95-7's is nice for 100$ or so[Summit, etc] it is missing one of the 11 hoses, but that can be made up with a 15" piece of 3/4" heater hose..
Kit is EDP, not silicone but very nice for the price..
They are blue btw..

It's #15 in this diagram[from shoebox site]:

For 93-4's you can 'upgrade' to 'late' hose configuration of a 95-7..[I did]

Thanks, which hose is it missing? How do the blue hoses look in the engine compartment? I have a red car and was looking for some red ones, I know that lingenfelter had them before but I cant find them now. I will check summit out, what is the difference in the upgrade set?

Editedpost above..
I was in a rush and wasn't quite clear..
The Hi Miler kit is only made for 95-7 hose configuration [yours] not for 93-4.. though a 93-4 can be changed[upgraded?] to 95-7, then the hose kit can be used.. I did that..
Blue looks OK but my car is purple pearl, and most stuff under hood is black [wire wraps, headers, etc and Moroso Blue Max plug wires.. ] not sure how it would look on a red car..
It is a nice kit though.. well worth 100..

The Summit part # is GTR-5006 and it looks like it is only available in blue and is $94.69 + free shipping + $9 handling (the above link is for their website, they don't have a direct link to the hose kit, put in GTR-5006 as the Summit part #). I couldn't find it at Jegs, and it is $94 + $12 shipping on Ebay.
