Hi there

Gates get my vote,we are used this kit before,we are now will be using on our wagon Gates Kevlar

Probably worth to speak to Alyn@AS Performance about the best prices,I'm sure he selling whole kit for good price(including water pump etc)

Gates. The Gates kevlar is the same belt as the cosworth kevlar as gates make it for cosworth apparently. The normal Gates belt is very good and the same as OEM i believe.
