i've got some used ones if you don't want to spend so much $$... They have a couple thousand miles on them, but are still just dandy! Pm me for pricing.

LOl, of course i am just joking around. i have ordered from all of the companies that wallace mentioned, and have been pleasantly satisfied with their service. Also, check out PAPparts.com or thereabouts. local place near me, but they ship to anywhere in the USA. hope that helps!

dont forget rennbay.

rennbay is a rennlist sponsor, and of the three mentioned by wallace i think paragon is the only rennlsit sponsor .

since we give and get a lot of help from the rennlist community, i recommend we support the sponsors.

Very true.
Rennbay (rennbay.com) is great, and Travis' customer service is excellent.
He was more than willing to help me over the phone, late at night, while I was installing new ball joints.

General consensus:

Good:
OE
Gates
Contitech

Bad:
Flennor
Goodyear?

At least this is what I have read.

All of the belts sold by reputable suppliers (paragon, rennbay) will be a reliable brand.
