Jabba tells me the only rad hoses he can get for the SD are Urotrash,
suggests checking them often after installation. There might be some
OE(M) available but they are likely older rubber, so whether those would
then last any longer than Urotrash is questionable.

I suggest Gary @ http://www.buyeuroparts.com/
I have placed two orders with him in the last week. Both were priced very
competitively and arrived on time and correct as ordered. I received tracking
information within 24 hours of placing my order and was not charged until the
parts shipped.
Probably the best thing about Gary is his willingness to tell you he can't or won't get
an aftermarket part due to quality issues. One of the big problem with the mass-market
parts retailers is their propensity to use low quality high margin (for them) parts from
Asian supplier, such as URO. This is why you see such "deals" from these
places. Ask them who the part manufacturer is and you'll understand why.
A good example of his willingness to forego a sale due to quality would be when
I talked to him about front brake rotors for my S500. I can get OE rotors for
$85/each from my local dealer. He can get OEM rotors for slightly less, maybe
$75/each. They are most likely the same, but understanding that I want
guaranteed quality on a brake or suspension part, he agreed that the OE part
was the better way to go in my case.

Anyone have any experience with Pelican Parts or German Auto Parts. Both are
advertising good prices but I don't know much about the companies?
