## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Something that looks great and works perfectly
*by K***. on 4 April 2025*

Great product.. was having issues with the belt jumping off either when it was cold or high rim. Great look very easy to install

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect fit and great for high rpm
*by S***E on 16 April 2023*

Perfect fit, looks great works awesome in the drift car

### ⭐ Pulley is Garbage
*by K***H on 3 June 2024*

The kit itself is fine, but the pulley they ship with it is poor quality, not even close to OEM quality. Order from ICT directly, this company seems to be using inferior parts.
