im running a gilmer set, very happy knowing that my belts and pulleys are good...The sound gets annoying after a while though, watch some videos and if you think you can deal with the extra noise its not a bad investment. you should see the looks you get when the car is whistling like it does lol personally it doesnt bother me because RoXy is a weekend racer but as a daily and having a decent length commute, id hate it

Haven't used one but be aware that the glimer kit is not compatible with the Full Function Engineering Trigger Wheel if you ever plan on going down that route.

I've used a gilmer set (forget manf. but from down under). I doubt I gained any horsepower, but they were cool as hell, and sounded great. My alt wasnt perfectly aligned and my belt started to wear on one side.

I bought mine from mazdatrix, the only reason was for the sound. Hell, my car makes sounds from all over the place, what's a little more engine bay noise?
