RPI and EvoSport both have 15-20% under drive pulleys. Dinan just released one as well. They are relatively all created equal and they all run about the same prices. Some are anodized black, some are silver in color, but they all function on the same principal and the kits contain the same parts.....belts, pulley and bolts. Easy on, proven HP gains.

Pulley kits free up power in the engine by replacing the factory pulleys with lighter weight and smaller versions that are more efficient and produce less drag on the engine. At the moment, EvoSport does not make a kit for the 530 but they do have one for the M5.
