Cracking belts

[DodgeDanger]

I have a few cracks in both my belts and I want to get them replaced this weekend. Does anyone have any good recomendations?

I checked the Serpentine belt thread but there was only one recomendation the "Goodyear Gatorback" belts.

Belts

Did a lot of research on this because I'm buying belts for my new pulleys.

Gates is sold by Advanced Autoparts and is also listed on the Stillen site. That's the brand I went with. They have a "micro v" technology that is supposed to reduce friction and increase grip.

No matter what brand you go with, they are about the same price. I haven't heard any bad things about any particular brand. It becomes more important with FI.

I've had gates with my S/C and I currently have gatorbacks, either is a fine choice.

also...thread moved to the FX section.

I've always liked the Goodyear Gators.
