I have read most of the threads for DIY timing belt replacements but what are your thoughts on purchasing the "Timing Belt Packages" off of Ebay?

Thanks for any feedback!

Some parts are OEM. Just want to get it all for a reasonable price. There are other places Ive searched but seem to come to more expensive. I was curious if anyone has purchased these types and if they were satisfied with their purchase.

Just going off that list of manufactures, it looks to be a quality setup. All are factory or OEM suppliers.
