I have a friend that will modify GSR rods ( in the case that you are doing the Vitara setup), which seem to work a little better, as they raise compression a tad. just pm me, and let me know.

Gsr rods are a tad longer. And yes, LS rods can be used. You are aware though, that you have to notch the block right?

rod width

what is everybody here forgetting the fact that the gsr rod and ls rod are a different width. hence no you can't use the gsr rod on a d crank. it's just to narrow. newbs
