    Try Jagwire.
    The Elixir4 will just be a "custom for Specialized" which means they're just elixirs but a different colour etc.
    My "Custom Ultimates" were just Juicy 7s,with tweaks for Specialized.

    Just to take a quick step back, what do you expect to gain? What's wrong with the standard hoses?

    What Northwind said.

    You do realise that stock hoses are kevlar braided, right?

    if they're spongy, chances are they haven't been bled properly.
