    even though they say they are underdrive, they are all the same diameter as OEM, meaning they are not underdrive.
    ive been told they fit most all EJ series engines (obviously crank pulley will but i was iffy on the alt and steering pump pulleys)
    i have also been told they are very high quality and work perfectly.
    and theyre only $15!

    im gonna have to get me a set of these very soon :D

    Be aware that doing both the crank and alternator pulley makes the alternator spin so slow that it doesn't charge while at idle.

    They are a waste of your time (imo) you wont feel a difference. AND none of the belts work right for them.

    ive heard they work great with throttle response (but thats about it)
    and that the belts actually worked really well with these ones.

    ive got a bid on a set, so ill let you know how it goes.

    Well, I didnt notice a difference, but then again, I put mine on with a 11lb flywheel.

    a lighter FW will make a bigger difference. I stuck with stock crank pulley for balancing reasons.

    yeah but a light weight FW is out of my price range.
    what sort of balancing reasons?

    The stock pulley isnt really a dampener, but it kind of is too. It scares me.

    Its more of a show piece than anything. The gains are marginal, and only noticed (if at all) in lower gears.

    It may help it rev a tad quicker but you arent going to feel it when in gear.

    I had a Perrin lightweight crank pulley. I wasn't able to be balanced with the crank. We put on the STOCK crank pulley, it's perfectly balanced where nothing had to be taken off or added onto it. My internals where rotated balanced and weight balanced. From front crank pulley, crankshaft sprocket, crankshaft, rods, pistons, flywheel, pressure plate WITH bolts.
