As the title states, I'm wondering which aftermarket belt is the best. Such as just last the longest and is known to be the best quality. Thanks!
 
OE EVO IX timing belt

Any "blue" belt, gates, greddy, HKS

Gates replacement belt (black)

Then there is one or two others
 
Timing belt = Your flavor & budget

Water pump NEW GMP brand

OE idler and testioner pulleys

OE Auto testioner

Things to check

Cam seals, crank seal, oil pump gear seal = replace as needed.

Clean and inspect harmonic balancer, replace as needed ( OE strongly recommended)

In car BSE is an option at this point
 
Just wanted to add that no matter what belt you go with, they should always be replaced at the 60k mile service interval. A Gates Racing "Blue" belt will not last any longer than a standard Black Gates belt.
 
The belts stated above are all good quality aftermarket belts if you decide to go down that route. Otherwise, an oem belt will be just fine. I personally only run oem t blets.
 
Alright thanks so much for the links to everything, deffinetly going to give me a lot more peace knowing its someone else approved rather than me. Now I just got to get around to putting it on soon.
