Default Cheapest place for 30V timing belt kit?

My ECS kit has been on the car for 28,000 miles and no problems. Go with ECS.

Default Look for the best quality, Ruville, Geba, Febi....

I got my last at ECS, but I did specify a different waterpump and t-stat. Graf waterpumps are awful at best, castings are bad(read: leaks after installation, poor alignment). Make sure you get a tensioner piston &amp; accessory belt tensioner as they are not provided in the kit. These are the type of parts that can fail after the fact and quite rightly , "ruin your day".
