Default Timing belt change - parts kit source

Our timing belt change is coming up, DIY.
What source is recommended for the complete kit (Quality, price, completeness)?

Thanks.

+1 They're cheaper than ECS and they're full shebang kit is completely comprehensive! I just got mine installed from them! If you're unsure of having all the necessary tools (like a spanner wrench) then rent the tool kit. I didn't and I had to get creative (plumbing parts anyone?)

What kind of makeshift parts did you need? I just dont want to pay their $300 deposit haha. I'm sure I could source some tools, i just dont know what I need.

Understandable about the extra 300 up front, but having the right tools for the job makes things a lot easier in the end. You'll get the money back, obviously, you just need to have it in the first place...
