I can provide you with some good alternatives at cheaper prices. Give us a PM.

waynegts · 30th September 2008, 03:43 PM

what are they? dont really want to substitute quality for the sake of a few £s

**Spearmint** · 30th September 2008, 04:00 PM

Strength wise they are good for around the 800 mark though my Eagle Rods recently made an issue with the little end in one of them....after only around 1000 miles and a good Dyno thrashing.

waynegts · 30th September 2008, 05:03 PM

what happened? it was deffo a rod fault?

**vizibledog** · 30th September 2008, 08:31 PM

I'm using Eagle Rods for my rebuild. Just waiting on them arriving from the USA.

nothing wrong with eagle rods im running 410 hp atw and once im finished the head it will be more like 440hp atw. ive seen 550 hp atw again no problems.it comes down to good install and a top tune.

waynegts · 5th October 2008, 06:03 PM

**Kez** · 5th October 2008, 06:22 PM
