I'm sure all your local parts houses do. Why not going OEM?

Well the stock ones are known for breaking tensioner's so why not try better after market, many time aftermarket is cheaper and BETTER materials. Just wondering if there was a kit that had every thing needed as a kit.

It's really not the tensioner that goes bad on these 2.4l engines, it's usually the slack-side guide that turns to dust and falls into your oil pan. Of all the performance parts out there for the KA engine you would think someone with a machine shop could make a decent guide upgrade kit for them.
