Default Which cambelt kit

Hi!
I'm just about changing a cambelt but not sure which kit I should get. There's quite a lot of those on a market starting from 130 quid up to 250ish. Would U recommend anything ?
WRX '01 standard engine.

thanks!

Most seem to use "import car parts" based in northeast but you can order on tinterweb or just use their eBay shop.

Just make sure you get a kit with a decent branded belt, I'd recommend a Gates or a Dayco for example. Plenty of kits on Ebay cheaper but they tend to come with belts from brands I've never heard of before so I'm not sure it's something worth skimping on just to save £20 or so!

import car parts are either gates or dayco, you get the option on checkout.

one is more expensive
