If so, are they any good? I have read to stay away from the piggy-back style. March has the one piece crank pulley if I am not mistaken. Just curious if they are any better or worse than say Steeda pulleys. Any input would be great.

Cheap crap. Steedas are the only decent ones.

I bought them, then did my homework, and sold them. I kept the stock ones, then ending up supercharging my old 96 about 2 years later.

IF you want about 5 HP and the rear wheels which will cost around 150, at least do with Steeda.

every time I've heard of that it was with a piggyback set or a crank pully that wasn't damped. Were you running the factory damper bolted on the underdrive crank pulley, no damper at all, or the Steeda damped crank pulley type?

to be honest i dont know what brand the pulleys were but they were solid aluminum and kind of looked like these but not that color, mine were a red-ish / marron-ish color. they came on my car when i bought it.

they completely replaced the factory damper, not piggyback.

looks like it was not a damper, just a pulley. Well, that's one more data point strongly suggesting our engines NEED a damper lol
