The old adage of "You get what you pay for" comes to mind. Something that's so important and not an easy, 10 minute replacement, I'd suggest going for an actual OEM part. Just me though. Hell, I found even cheaper ones.

i bought an ebay timing kit for my d21 with sohc ka, kit seemed to be just as good as oem excpt the chain tenisoners where plastic so i just reused the orriginal one. even if its not 100% as good as oem you have to think if you got any think over 70k miles on the engine the chain starts to expand and contract from heat. So at least the new chain will be in the allowed length range and should last you a decent amount of time.
