i used gates, i prefered it, gates makes great products, most people here may say OEM, but i feel they are comparable..OEM is conti-tech if you wanted to go OEM and maybe save a little...check out rockauto.com for timing kits, decent prices, fast shipping..

Rock auto has the worste prices! Every part I have checked on that site has been more expensive, mostly due to shipping.

Opinion: gates vs oem

Fact: rockauto is a mess of distribution centers with not so great prices.

right, and hes asking for our opinions, people the stear him in some sort of a direction, Gates makes a great product, Continental also makes a good product. Belt needs to be changed at the same intervals either way.

rockauto is a drop shipment company yes, the prices are decent and i was able to get full gates components with shipping for cheaper than say FCP and from what ive seen of FCP's OEM components kit, its belt is Conti but the other parts seem cheaper than OEM...
