Will probably do AOS at the same time...this will be about it before the huge clutch job in the next 2 years
When it was time to do mine I ordered a Gates (I have used Gates on my son's Miata and loved it) from Amazon as an experiment and when it came in it had a metal impellor (the listing was unclear with some folks saying it was composite and some saying metal), and also it did not spin as smoothly as I thought it should. I sent it back and got a Pierburg. Composite impellor and much smoother feeling rotation.

I was hopeful for the gates (at <$100) but for me it wasn't happening.
