Tomei makes a Kevlar reinforced timing belt, comes with billet belt guide.

Don’t forget it’s a smart idea to get the water pump and pulleys replaced at the same time.

Hit up Garage 88.... might be in stock.
Not a soobi anymore, but still slightly dirty

Thanks man, is the Tomei better regarded over the STi branded belt?

I will def hit up for the other changes thanks for that.

Honestly speaking they could be the same belt, just rebranded.
