Gates, Contitech, Bando, Mitsuboshi. These are all reputable brands. No you don't need a $63 one.

Stick with the OEM timing belt. That's a part you don't want to cheap out on.

I'm good with OEM, just like ordering online as the Honda dealer is 50 miles away!

You can but don't have to. Quite a few quality belts all of which deschlong mentioned.

I moved all relevant posts to here since you were just asking the exact same things in two different threads. Should keep it all in your thread here.

Re: Which timing belt for 99 LX

Is this good?

https://www.amazon.com/Evergreen-TBK224MVCA2-96-00-Timing-Gasket/dp/B00N48BLO4/ref=sr_1_2?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1564158033&s=automotive&sr=1-2&vehicle=1999-59-752-113--1--5-5752-1441-1-1---4&vehicleName=1999+Honda+Civic

Aisin pump, Mitsuboshi belt, I may just reuse the tensioner,

I do then need 3 belts, so maybe the Bando set
