All in all it is a nice upgrade, but there were a few drawbacks. The hole for the water pump pulley was to small, so it took a few passes with my Dremmel to widen the hole to make it fit on, and the belt is EXTREAMLY tight. Some big modifying to my FD alt were required to make the belt fit, I'll post pics of that to show you what I mean.
The car sounds SOOOOO much "cooler" now with this on though, just like a supercharger.

Picked up my kit today and wow. It looks nice but thats about it.
I ordered the Fc 15mm kit and received a headache.
The only pulley that worked right was the Alt pulley, O but it came with the wrong size spacer.
The water pump pulley: not only was the hole too small but once it was dremeled i discovered that the bolt holes were off.
So then i get to the crank pulley: What do ya know, the hole was too small.
My opinion, BUY A DIFFERENT KIT

Ya, u def get what ya pay for. After i fixed the holes it actually looks and works pretty good. Overall i think it could have easily been a better kit but once again, ya get what u pay for.

Gilmer belts are cool, but aren't possible with PS and air pump combined. I wish someone would make a serpentine belt system for the FC, I'd be all over it. I have no AC so I am not worried about it.
