Not familiar with HKS although as you can see from the pics - the bolts look to be thicker than Fidanza. My problem with the HKS is that there are only three bolts - I just like the extra security of the 5.

As far as fit - mine fit perfectly. Maybe I'm not understanding what you mean by fit - the only place I have personally seen cam gears slip is at the bolts.

The AEM gears you've seen slip - were they on Evos? To be honest I have never heard of the AEM 5 bolt slipping on an EVO. I have 6 buddies running AEM gears on their EVOs with no problems to date.

Again, I can only speak about my experience with my car and the people I know with similar equipment.
