Default Forged Connecting Rod Group Buy feeler.

With the recent release of our RS6 kit and with many cars going above power levels that are comfortable for the stock components we have begun looking into having some custom forged rods made to our specs.

The rods we typically use and re-sell to our customers have a retail price of almost $300 each. We have been in touch with our rod manufacturer about bringing down costs and if we order a large quantity of them at once we can then offer the savings onto you.

If we can get 10 customers on board for the GB we could offer them to you for $950/set shipped

Lets see what the interest looks like and if we have enough people we will go ahead and start taking deposits/orders.

Please email me Frank@AutoSpeed.us and let me know your interest so that I can begin a list of who is in.

Default Answers...

1. Leading Manufacturer is US based
2. Material is 4340 Forging Blanks
3. Rod Bolts are ARP High Strength
4. What is DeStroked? You mean non-stock lengths? No, these rods are stock spec in terms of bore sizing and stroke.
5. Pics not available at the moment, these would be a custom spec'd H-Beam rod. Our previous uses have been with A Beam designs, this is for H Beam.
6. Torque and Rpm good for 800+Tq/Hp
7. Rpm limited by your valve train, rods generally have little problems with our RPM ranges.
