Do youthink they are the same oem parts, or do you think they are knockoff kragen brand or something? Do you think they would be lower quality than getting oem from sgp or the dealership? Thanks

I work at Kragen, but plan on buying OEM parts when it comes time to do the timing belt. In general, auto parts stores do not carry OEM parts. The quality of aftermarket parts ranges from near OEM all the way down to pure crap. So unless you are familiar with which aftermarket companies actually make quality parts (like Gates belts), I'd stick with OEM for the critical stuff.
