Has anyone ever used the Gates timing belt? I may need to replace mine soon and I ran in to it on online shops. They are a lot cheaper that Greddy and HKS and they seem to be a Legit company that's been doing for all car worldwide.

Any experience with these guys?

 

OEM or gates are the only way to go. i run one on my car with no problems at all

 

I have a Gates timing belt as well. So far so good. Its actually been on two different cars! lol

 

Gates should be good, but I prefer OEM.

 

The gates belts work great.

I believe the OEM belt is a Gates.......

 

No O.E.M. manufacturer to my knowledge make their own belts they always sublet the work to companies like Gates,i've seen Mitsubishi and Honda O.E. timing belts made by Gates before,my Evo along with all my customers Evos have the blue Gates timing belt and balancer belt with no issues at all,i usually get them from Ebay for about $127.00 for both with free shipping,so the price is pretty good imo,hope this info works for you.

 

I run Gates on my IS. So far so good

 

Im getting my 60k done this week and I'm using Gates belts
