i have heard good reviews on the ebay timing belt kit for gs400. saying that these are all good name parts and if you look inside toyota box from dealer parts they will be these brands, just in toyota box.

I too only use OEM parts for ALL of my cars. I want to keep my cars genuine and running the best. I figure nobody knows their cars better than the manufacture who made them.
