Default Belts?

Gates vs Continental. Both acceptable? I know AC Delco is good but at $60 a piece...

I suggest you search the recent threads about belt chirp and belt noise if you are replacing your belts due to noise. You will find multiple opinions.

I went with the Gates kits. One for main belt and one for the AC belt. Kits come with all you need, Belts, tensioners and pulleys. I have about 12k miles on mine with no problems and are silent.
