I ordered my OEM belt for my SC300 from Champion Toyota and the OEM manufacturer now for Toyota is Unitta

I'm in the need of belts as well, and will be purchasing the timing belt from Carson Toyota, but I wasn't sure if they were true OEM. The reason I say this is because I'm also looking for spark plugs, and the ones at Carson are $1.83, so I'm guessing those are not iridium NGK IFR6A11 or Denso SK20R11, perhaps one of you could clarify that? If not, could you tell me where to find these plugs (I believe the NGK's were discontinued).
And a second question, this one about belts :-) , before I go nuts looking in the engine bay, could someone tell me what are the drive belts that our cars have? I believe there are two, but from Carson I see quite a list of belts (A/C, Alternator, P/S) Could someone also clarify this? Thanks in advance guys!

2 belts other than timing belt
One goes over the main-pulley, alternator and A/C compressor.
Other goes over the main-pulley and steering pump (accessed from below)
Fairly cheap at the dealership.

Now, and I don't mean to hijack the thread, where can I find Denso SK20R11 plugs at a decent price and reputable site?

partsgeek.com has the best price that I could find. I paid 7.25 each and totaled $50.45 after shipping.
Shipping was very fast!
