FCP Groton includes everything you need except the G12 coolant. You can buy that at a dealership or at NAPA, and still be well under the cost from other vendors.

One last question... what is the difference between High Performance Race Timing Belt and just a regular timing belt? Would it benefit my car any more in any way? Would it last longer?
