FWIW, I just ordered all OEM hoses for this very same job from SunCoast (see my previous thread for part numbers). I think the price was $138 for the hoses and clamps.

Also, I plan to replace the front hoses (all of them) when I install my center radiator in the fall/winter. Too hot over spring/summer out here.

Main reason to replace them is there is a lot of contamination (rubber debris) in the cooling system. It had Prestone in it last time, you can see the dye in the hose, but I've flushed it with distilled water about 3 times and still have a significant amount of black particles. So, I'm assuming my hoses have slowly been disintegrating and plan to replace them all.
