I need a new thermostat, radiator hoses, water pump and the gasket between the water pump and the block and I'm going to have the timing belt looked at at the same time. Where can I get a good quality thermostat, water pump and some silicone radiator hoses? Recommended brand or brands to stay away from?

Also is there anything else I should consider replacing?

No reason to use a lower temp thermostat. OEM is best.

subaru...... or you could try the internet.....

don't be afraid to try and help yourself to some useful information. not trying to be a jerk, but if your looking for OEM, there isnt that many places to check... and i don't think anybody else is going to start looking around to find out who is going to give you the best price.... when i got the parts to rebuild my eg33, i got them from a combination of the minnetoka morries subaru and ebay (timing belt/pulleys and waterpump kit purchased from The Import Experts http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/theimportexperts)
