Personally, I would not buy from SupraStore 
If you want to keep stock compression, you will need to know how much material is removed from the block and head decks when you prep for a MHG. Then add both to the stock 1.37mm HG thickness...that will tell you what thickness MHG to get.
ARP studs are a good choice...the Greddy timing belt is over priced. A Gates belt is as good (same color too...if that matters) and a lot less expensive. SupraRich sells all of the above.

Yeah, I wouldn't mess with the greddy timing belts. I personally don't see what all the hype is about. When I rebuilt my motor, it had a greddy belt on it and I swapped it out for a gates belt. The greddy was still in good shape but I could get a new gates belt for about $15.
Gates produces the timing belts for Greddy. The ONLY difference is the name on the belt. Some people just prefer the Greddy label on it. We sell both and when I tell my customers the can save some money the still want the Greddy instead...

I didnt want to say this in case i was wrong but ive fitted both belts and couldnt see any difference.
no i mean they looked the same, same colour exactly, same thickness just a different name.Id get whichever was cheaper at the time.
