timing belt decisions

Im gonna be replacing my timing belt and all the other things that should be changed with it. The issue im having is where to order from, www.stmtuned.com has the kit for $510 and mitsubishiparts.net also has the same kit for 473. Which site do you guys reccommend? has anyone ever ordered anything from either of these sites? Is there anywhere else besides these two places i can order from?

You will not go wrong ordering the timing kit from either place both include all the parts you need to do the job "right" and both are quality vendors here.

I ordered the timing kit the first and second time through russellm from mitsubishiparts.net. Both times the kit was at at my house within a week from west coast to east

You should get the timing belt adjuster as well...

Either one of those places would be a good choice to order from.

MAP (Modern Automotive Performance) also has their kit decently priced with the Gates t-belt and balance belt. And it comes with everything you need.
