UR makes more power than AEM. So for power production it would be "best".
For longevity of your engine, AEM will win that contest. You decide what's most important.

It's hard to say that one is better than the other when the other doesn't include the crank pulley. Teh crank pulley from UR will give you the best gains but the downsides are possible bearing wear.....I have yet to hear a definitive answer to the UR crank pulley being good or bad for the engine. You could install it and have the entire rotating assembly balanced which should get rid of any unwanted vibrations.

AEM pulleys for over 3 years, no issues, never replace the alternator.

It shouldn't cost too much for the AEM pulleys, somewhere in the $120-150 dollar range. The UR pulleys will be a bit more but they also come with the crank pulley.

King Kong Motorsports would do the install for you however I don't think it could be that hard to tackle on your own.

Really? I know the crank pulley can be a bitch but I would think the alt and ps pulleys would be a fairly easy install.

The accessory pullies are very simple, just note that one of them is a reverse thread on the pulley bolt. Someone can chime in and specify for me, it's been a while.

Yes, but with a proper balanced rotating assembly there should be no problems. A reputable shop should be able to do it for less than $100.

Nah, I'm pretty much done with the street racing scene, I usually go up to Topeka to run at the track. I'm 22 BTW. You can pm me however I don't get them sometimes.

I have a BRAND NEW UR pulley set (red-SS) for H22/Prelude. I got a good deal on them, but decided not to use them since I am going to sell my car. This also INCLUDES both brand new gates belts for the prelude. Kit retails at $360 and belts are $25.

$259 FIRM PLUS paypal and shipping fees.
