Depends when you say 'big' these like many others are a good value rods sourced from either china or taiwan same as eagle and scat (been to the factory) i have used similar rods in crazy SR's and CA's with no issues when the budget did not permit for better items.

They are no Carrillo or pauter... but not everyone needs that type of quality, look at you budget and the quality of the other components going in. No point buying chaep rods if the pistons are worth a million bucks and vice versa... no point buying killer rods if the pistons are cheap etc.

They're excellent quality for the money I'd say and they come with ARP2000 bolts. I have a set sitting here ready to use and they look the goods. With the power some workshops are creating on standard rods, these should be capable of some serious horsepower.

Under a thousand bucks for a set with bolts is great value.

Hi

What price have you been quoted for Spool rods?

When I was building my forged RB30 bottom end I was also looking at sing with SPOOL rods, but I heard bad things, and a good friend recommended EAGLE H BEAM rods, I think thats the brand(been up since 5am, correct me if I'm wrong lol).

There is a guy on calaiturbo, username STONE_RACING, he builds a lot of forged RB30 bottom ends and can get EAGLE H BEAM rods for pretty cheap or at a good price. If you want send me PM if your keen or 100% definate on getting a set of forged rods, and I'l try hook you up with a good price, and a good set.

Apparently from what I've read, this is from back earlier this year, people say you cant go wrong with EAGLE H BEAM rods, for the price and quallity.

They also come with ARP2000 rod bolts.

Just my opinion, and what I heard at the time of building my forged bottom end..

Thanks,

Abu

Let me just say that it would be silly to say that an Eagle rod is significantly better (or even different) to a Spool rod. I've heard nothing but glowing reports about them and I'm more than confident using them in my new motor. They sell for $890 a set on www.spoolimports.com website and come with bolts.

Yeah i think SCAT, ART and spool are around the same price all stocked locally

ART from racespec 0401 313163. Ive spun the ART rods to dizzy heights in some CA's.

SPOOL from spool

SCAT from rocket, autobarn etc..

ive just recently started a rb26/30 project aswell, and from wot i have researched and heard from a few ppl and websites, spool rods are more then enuf, as stock rods themselves will hold roughly around 500hp, unless ur aiming for huge HP then spool is more then enuf
