Bump

Same prices as last time

Since the idlers aren't gates or subaru, which ones do you use?
Just curious since you list brand names for everything else, but seem to hate gates for some reason.

Our Idler pulleys are made by the same companies that make the OEM one's.  We dont buy them from Subaru that's why we don't pay Subaru prices.  NSK or Koyo usually.

There are 2 reasons I hate on gates.  The first is most kits cheap out and come with inferior single bearing pulleys, and specifically to the gates racing kit, the blue coating comes off and gums up the pulleys, same as Cosworths belts. 

We always use OEM Subaru Timing belts on all DOHC engines, even though they cost more, the fitment is exact and quality is excellent.  For high power or higher reving cars we prefer the Tomei belts, same as factory, no coatings, but Kevlar reinforced.
