they're luring you in until you spend some real money, then they will rape you and not even pay for the cab ride home!

Re: What FPR to go with?

Ha ha. Yeah, I learned the SBR lesson from my buddy Matt. They were horrible on the shipping of almost all of the many thousands of dollars in shit he bought from them. I like extremepsi, they are almost always cheaper.

Re: What FPR to go with?

I've never heard of a kevlar belt snapping, but I have never heard of a OEM being a bad product as long as there are no oil/tensioner problems. OEM belts are fine from 99% of people. Anything over 600hp I would "consider" going to kevlar, but wouldn't bother untill then..

Most people have T-belt issues because of neglect, stretching, or old tensioners, oil damage, pullies, exc. It's very seldomely just the T-belt that makes it skip theeth..

Re: What FPR to go with?

About the SBR thing... I just got my shipment of valves, springs, guides, retainers, and a bunch of other stuff for my head build from SBR the other day. Took only 3 days to ship and everything is perfect. I have yet to have problems with SBR. However I have had problems twice with dsmparts.com
