Recomend me a Cambelt kit
As the Title please 
Want to change it as a precautionary measure as i have nothing in the History to sugest its been done apart from "cam-belt done" writen with a byro on one of the sevices in the Sevice book.
Had one , well two in the past and they ended up costing me dearly. My van dropped a belt TWO weeks after buying it and before i had a chance to change it and ended up costing me a grand.
The other was on an old Escort but still bent 4 valves and required quite a bit of work to put right
So now , as you can imagine, i am a little nevous of these belts and like to change then sooner rather than later
My cars an 02 bug sti, so i would be greatfull if anyone could steer me in the direction of a good and trusted suplier
Am i right in thinking that while i'm at it i should do the water pump as well
Regards
Ian

i have included a link to page of various cambelt kits from a good supplier as for water pump they very rarely go, its generally the oil pump that gets changed as a precautionary measure. http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/part...49&var=25&dc=y

i've always used gates powergrip belts and have had no trouble with them, i've just fitted a full gates cam belt kit to my scooby as my pal works at a parts distributor and got me the full kit and a new water pump for £100 all in, i'm having no trouble with it on my car or any other car i've fitted them too in the past.
