I have no idea how they can be that cheap and still have quality components such as INA included. Contitech do kits over here for similar price to FCP Euro but the components are not INA made/branded. When I had my timing belt done in 2015 i didnt know about the Schaeffler kits - i wish i had done. I wanted OEM replacements for the dodgy lot fitted. Ive just checked my invoice and the timing belt parts actually came to £469 (the other costs were waterpump/thermostat/seals etc). But that still a hefty difference. Wish I had also known that the kits were so cheap in Oz - I have been visiting Oz (perth) every year for the last 6yrs and could have run an import business on the side....
