from experience (my s2000 track car only with over 15K miles of track) when Toda and Spoon sell a part this means it will work and it will work perfectly if installed properly
My concern is price more than anything.

Arvou sells a set of pulleys as well.
I am going to try another set soon (not sure what brand yet). My T1Rs self destructed. The auto tensioner bearing failed, which in turn caused the whole bearing to spin on the auto tensioner housing causing it to wear the housing away itself. I have had to replace the tensioner now as well since the pulley sat too far inboard because of the missing material. The idler pulley below had a bearing in a bit better condition it (still spun somewhat freely), but the belt tension wore a deep groove in the pulley itself. I read reviews that said the water pump pulley in the T1R was most prone to failure but thats the only one still intact. People say that the screw holes would elongate.
I am going to research the Arvous more. Not sure about the crank pulley yet though.

I purchased the TODA/ASM pulleys, as well as the ACT Prolite Flywheel (8.6lbs) this past May from Evasive Motorsports. They also performed the install.
The pulleys are beautifully made and improve the appearance of the engine bay.
Ofcourse, I can't tell how much of a change the pulleys made by themselves, but the combination produces an awesome difference. My S2k drives like a whole different car -- much more responsive -- and I would never go back. The car drives better than ever!

I'm happy with the pulleys. I have both the Toda and ASM, and I would never go back. I don't have any photos of them on my car, but take a look at this link:
