ECS is a good company and they're well-known here. I've bought from them several times (brakes, sensors, tools, etc) and have yet to be disappointed in any way. You'll be perfectly fine with that kit.

ECS kits are great. I've changed my timing belt twice, each time with the ECS ultimate kits. High quality and reliable supplier.

i just finished installing my timing belt kit from ECS. Great kit its held up nice for the past few days that its been on, and feels 100x better then before. You probly will need the special tool. I bent some metal drilled some holes and made myself a 180 dollar tool, the crank shaft tool you dont really need. But be carefull tho its pretty detailed i suggest a bentley or some type of service manual. Youll need a compression gauge to check TDC.
