    there have to bee a 100+ threads about the failings of procomp products. buyer beware. they actually state that they don't supply certain bolts and that some pulleys don't line up properly. also once you have purchased the product expect 0 (ZERO) customer support.

    My mate brought that exact kit, we just had to pack the power steering pump out abit to get it lined up. Other than that everything else was fine. I have heard they have some dodgy products though.
