They all the same buddy.

Except the 19mm and 20mm conrod versions.  make sure you get the right sized ones.

Well cts want $554.98 with arp bolts riffel drilled and calico coated bearings. I have sent them a email in reguards to shipping costs and insurance, i have ested it at $50 each on top of price and the total comes to £493 with import vat & duties. Yours are £450 just for the rods and apr 2000 bolts (which are included in the price) but no bearings and does not state riffel drilled and also i dont even know the company.

but if you want to keep it simple just go to coord sport/partbox they're only in Tipton. Phil is the name of the guy you want to talk to... he might try to flog you some whiteline stuff too though :grin:

Matt -  those pec ones ain't even rifle drilled.

For me, and what I'd recommend,  IE rods are probably the best on the market and ARE rifle drilled.

Bill at badger 5, or  Alex at AKS tuning would probably sort you out cheaper than those 450quid ones

i need riffle drilled rods as stated in my post earlier. This car will never be tracked as i just dont have time to do that. I just want a fast realiable car. Also iv never heard pec or eagle rods before. I know maxspeed rods are good as ive seen a post on it on facebook and beach buggy has ran them. I will speak to bill later if i get a chance
