akyakapotter Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Made in the same factory as the likes of scat ect I believe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Good rods, on the same lines as Scat and their cheap.They do the job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Not the same rods as scat or eagle or pec big end caps are different if you had them in your hand to compare you would see it. Nothing major but not the same rod.That said I ran them with no problems in the past.And if you make a best offer on there eBay listings you can get them new for just under or around 200.Personally I paid 180 postedIf put together in a nicely balanced build I can't see a problem.Phil Edited January 7, 2014 by Philm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
karl. Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Cheers for that Phil, there is two listings currently on eBay. Is there any difference in them? Worth while putting in a low ball bid of 170? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hit them low and you never know. Certainly would bid over 200.I'd say they will take 220 and maybe less if your taking a couple of setsPhil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you are ordering a set let me know and we could maybe get 2 at once for discount? I've mailed them to see if they will post to NI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
