Big time. They used to be a lot cheaper.

if your rebuilding the engine its hard to not use arp rod bolts, i mean they are like upwards of 35 bux... the biggest factor in installing them is resizing the rod but i had that done anyway for my new bearings...

if your NA then chances are your prolly dropping in some higher compression pistons so why not new bearings/arp rod bolts...

if your boosted then chances are you want to put in stronger rods/pistons basically eliminating the whole question.

i dunno, i mean theres some things to cheap out on but i just dont see the point IF your opening the bottom end anyway...

for a budget NA build use stock rods arp rod bolts and jdm ITR pistons and ACL race bearings

oh and i have the RS machines 84.5mm ITR pistons, they work really good...

how about budget forged?

srp's? or just shell out a tad more and go with cp/wiseco?

only the srp's are budget....but i'm still asking.

thought sleeve issues usually only happened when they're boosted. I know they siamesed the middle cylinders but how much of a problem is it when you just slap a vtec head on it?

whats wrong with cast? you could spend 200 bux on a set of cast type R clones and keep the stock rods or run forged for 500ish and spend another 250 on rods... hmmmm
