I purchased OBX radiator hoses from Sparktec Motorsports and i have a GT. I believe i received ST hoses because none of the hoses fit. Especially the top one, from block to radiator. OBX tells Sparktec that they should fit the GT and ST model, which i find hard to believe. I just need a confirmation stating that the hoses are different lengths because of the engine that are in the cars. This has been going on for 2 weeks now i still cant either get the correct part, or at least a partial refund. Any confirmation will do please. Thanks!

Hey sugarfree. If you do indeed have a GT then you need the hoses for the 2.2L 5S-FE - which is the second picture above. The ST engine is the 1.8L 7A-FE which is the first picture above. The hoses are very different for the two.
 If you can I would go with Gates Racing hoses. I have a '94 GT with those hoses - and they are rubber - instead of silicone like the OBX. I think I got the set (upper and lower) of Gates Racing hoses on eBay for like $55 or so shipped.
