Seems like a good price...   I wonder how much shipping and brokerage would make it tho.

Gates does make a quality product,  but those parts/ belts are ur regular jobber parts, I would not say they are "performance".

Gates makes a "racing series" belts as well that are similar to the blue coloured "greddy" or "HKS" kevlar belts.  With so much invested in your engine, wouldn't you want to go with a stronger kevlar belt?

It could be a good deal, depending if the pulleys are actually good.  If they arent as good as OEM than I would rather pay $300 for OEM pulleys and auto tensioner w/ a Gates Racing kevlar belt.

If enough people ran gates pulleys with success I would buy that kit and scrap the belt for a Kevlar one.

I used a full Gates kit the other day at work on a Subaru.  Seemed quite good quality and for a non badass motor I would say its just fine.
