Timing Belt kits

It's time to do my T belt (180K) miles. Anyone have experience or can recommend any after market kits? The independent Honda shop says the tensioners do not need to be replaces unless they are an issue. They are an extra 50 bucks each ( Honda) It is a 94 Accord EX

I have gotten four different kits from the "Timing Belt Kit Pro" seller on ebay. Top quality parts, fast shipping.

I believe Honda uses Koyo tensioners and with the miles you have I would replace them.

I've used Gates kits before. Gates TCK244 (? memory for my 95 EX) has both belts and two idlers. One more thing to consider are the seals (cam, ect) if they were not replaced before.

I would replace the tensioners also. Replacing them after is a pain. And you can loose your belts if the tensioner get stuck.. So it is a US$ 50 well spent..
