A great way to save some money

High quality bearings and tensioners and all installed smoothly. If you're willing to seize the day to save over $800 to do it in store, this is a great buy. Update: Not as good quality as I originally thought. The tensioner is not spring loaded as usual and therefore loosens over time. I tried tightening the tensioner but the bolt snapped in the cylinder block and stuck as the kit did not include a new tensioner bolt. The 5mm hex hole built in the tensioner is too small and cut out, make it at least 6mm! After removing the tensioner, I noticed that the bearing in it plays after several thousand kilometers. I made sure everything was installed correctly and to the manufacturer's torque specification. Since the bolt snaps in flush with the block, my car is almost completely destroyed if I don't get it out. Do yourself a favor and buy a kit with better bearings that don't play, a proper spring compressor and new bolts. Luckily I have a second car, but if you're not careful.
