Uh, if you like noise, and you're not too fond of money, then sure, go for it.

It doesnt give you anything you dont already have really, except 'lightweight pullies' :-p

You probably dont need as much tension on it too, so you might save a little bit there.

But I'd say: Definitely not worth it

out of curiosity, are those drives really that loud? I just installed a fd3s alternator, and removed everything else from the belt drive assemble. Its amazing how quiet the engine bay is when running...

Negative: Expensive belts..

Yes they are loud, but not obnoxiously so. You definitely notice a car that has them.
