Replacement Engine Belts
I'm looking to replace my timing belt soon and know that PE makes (from what I've heard) a good replacement timing belt... My question does another company make replacement belts for the other belts for my car?

There is an
STI belt, but from what I read, it's a copy of the PE belt. Unless someone has something bad to say about the PE belt (haven't seen anything negative) I'd go with it.

I got 40K+...
I'm really not looking to replace only the timing belt... I'm really looking to replace the other belts... I figure since I'll be messing with all the belts I should just do them all at once...

I'm not too familiar with Subarus specifically but timing belts are much more involved compared to accessory belts. This is because they are covered and have to be installed with everything (crank and 4 cams in this case) timed correctly. When I replace timing belts I usually replace the drive belts instead of the other way around.

I know that if I'm going to be removing belts to get the timing belt I might as well replace them as well...

- I'm looking for aftermarket belts BESIDES the timing belt
Oh ok. The way your message read implied to me that you were really looking to replace the other belts. Well regardless, what is the recommended time to replace your timing belt? I believe that my Subaru recommends it at like 100k which seems a bit long. My Integras were recommended at 60k and 90k. 40k is the shortest I've ever heard of.

Do you know of another manufacture that sells performance belts (stock size) for the 02 EJ20?
