STR gears seem pretty nice. 5 bolts should be good enough to prevent any slippage.

JUN- , Toda/Spoon- I am pretty happy with my JUN cam gears, but I've also got to give credit to Toda/Spoon for making some nice ones as well.

to TODA....TODA makes the gears for Spoon, but TODA costs a bit less and comes with cam bolts. The Spoon gears don't come with the bolts.

Depends on if you plan on purchasing aftermarket cams later.

For example, if you were looking at later getting a set of Toda cams, I'd suggest getting Toda cam gears. If you were looking into JUN cams, I'd suggest JUN gears.

While the chances of encountering difficulties due to mismatched products are small, I still believe that when purchasing mulitple parts that work together the best philiosophy is to buy parts from the same manufacturer whenever possible.

I would suggest going with the cam gears above with the "thumbups".
