J25GTi Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Seems like im struggling to find 1 5efhe conrod, so im looking into forged rods,Now obviously there is pec + scat etc, but ive just spotted these rods and wondered ifa) anyone has used themand are these both the same rods?/>http://www.tm-developments.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=31_32_8&products_id=422&zenid=ggbg6cb3a5u3qmvhcn46mga3m2/>http://www.rallycarsforsale.net/clas/index.php?ct=fsrc&md=details&id=55024they look the same to me? but at over £100 cheaper than the others it seems like a good buy?!?

shorty Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 id say they are the same too dude ;) they use the same grade and traetment so cant realy go wrong. with people like scat you pay for the fact they are tried and tested and the name of the brand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J25GTi Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yeah, i pretty much assumed they were the same, pics look the same and all the details are the same. But to buy them from maxspeeding is 100quid cheaper...Now has anyone you know of used them? any issues with notching etc? Im welll aware you get what you pay for, but if they have been tried and tested i wouldnt be too bothered about using them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
