Default Need Suggestion on Timing Belt Types

Hi guys,
I'm about to change my timing belt. I know the our stock timing belt from lexus dealer are perfect. But here is another belt I'm wondering that could do better than our stock. Check this website out: http://www.raretrick.com/index.asp?c...roductsID=6984
Does anyone have tired out this belt? I'm just wondering that if this belt is good as the DESCRIPTION stated.
Please tell me what you think. Should I get it instead of our stock one? Thank You.

I don't think there would be much difference between that one and a factory Toyota drivebelt. The Toyota drivebelts and serpentine belts are cheaper too I'd stick with the Toyota stuff.

The Power Enterprise and Trust belts are nice, but as long as it does not break, stretch, or jump position...there is no difference between the belts other than price. You money is better spent elsewhere. Gates makes a very reasonably priced timing belt for the 2JZ, T215 I believe it is...i've used it.
