Thinking of doing the timing belt in my 99 GSR.
I am currently shopping for the parts and I cam across these 2 kits on ebay. One is Acura and the other is combo of Flennor, NPW, GMB & Bando. Anyone ever heard of these brands? Some feedback would be appreciated. Thanks guys!!!

All i have to say is that ever since i've bought a timing belt from Autozone (duralast $35) i've had all sorts of timing issues. I counted the teeths to make sure.
After buying oem, My car runs like tits.

Keep in mind that the kit posted doesn't include the tensioner pulley. I bought mine on ebay and was surprised when it arrived without the tensioner.
I would say OEM only, but thats just me...

The tensioner doesn't always have to be swapped from what I hear. It can be tested for a load and if it still holds up to a certain degree it is still good.
