I finally got someone on the phone. He's supposed to review my pics and info then get back with me. I don't expect it to be in quick manor. If I was just planning to run the kit on the street I wouldn't be as worried, but for track abuse I'm just not comfortable with this being a good fit. I knew that going in, but just assumed I could make it work by keeping an eye on things and getting the larger belt.

lol track abuse? good luck. I survived two years with it i don't know how. I'm so glad i went turbo. 3-4 broken belts later and a new set of pulleys twice a year. it was a pain in the ass. oh i know you've set it to proper spec/tension. the problem is that it's IMPOSSIBLE to keep it there. temperature swings make this impossible. I don't care what people say about the 30mm kit. it's still trash and always will be trash. and if people are reading this and think i'm coming out harsh, that's fine because it's the truth. I've tried to provide input to kraftwerks directly when these kits came out, but they never listened to me. the 30mm is NOT the answer. it still will have the same problems, but the issue is delayed. not having an auto tensioner is the Achilles heel to this kit.... Honestly, ever since the customer service rep, CJ left, this company has been the absolute worst to deal with. And i'm more than happy to air my dirty laundry here because it's the truth. people coming in here saying they tracked theirs a few times and it hasn't broken or went through a couple drift sessions is only the start. Daily it, drive it to and from the track. run the 20-30 minute sessions for three days straight.
like i said, this kit is only good highway pulls and cool factor points at car shows, and that's pretty clear on their instagram in my opinion. it's all stance nation BS. Zero track.
/end rant.
