My kit should be coming in today, I'll confirm again what "brand". But again, the quality is being questioned for both japan and china parts, so anyone else got some feedback after installation? Assuming they are hold up well for the japan parts?

All idlers are made in Japan, the small one was a GMB but I have no issues with that. Belt is also made in japan, so yes the kit with the code letter "N" from gates do supply reliable parts. Perhaps the premature failure of the tensioner was due to not bleeding the air before installation?

I am about to hit the BUY button on the AISIN kit instead for my car (TKF-005), instead of the Gates 'N' package.

Did anyone have issues with it?

Thanks!

Just got the TCK304N kit off Rock Auto in the mail. The legends are true -- everything is still from Japan!
