A few of you were asking why choose Crower over Eagle. Its simple, here is Crower's take on it.
Crower:
When it comes to connecting rods...Crower is the Sport Compact industry leader. Other's have attempted to cash in on Crower's success by offering a cheaper rod made in China, but the fact remains, if you're running a forced induction, nitrous, high rpm or all of the above Honda/Acura engine...you need Crower's Premium Steel Billet connecting rods. Features include premium USA manufactured steel alloy, proven I-beam design intended for high horsepower applications, 220,000 psi Crower rod bolts that are stronger than ARP, tolerances to .0001", and system matched sets to .5 grams total weight.
Does anyone know of anyother company that sells rods for the 2.4L besides the two?
We do have 3 sets left, check the classifieds.

The ones you see on ebay say "Carrillo Pro H Beam Con Rods Chevy SB Quad 4 3/8 WMC" correct? Those are most likely a set of 8 Small Block Chevy rods. In any case, no one in their right mind would pay that much for any 4 rods, short of them being forged Titanium or 10" long.
I have no signiture
^^^ exactly what i was thinking. I sent the seller a messege to see what hed say.
I wish there were I beam rods for eco's, they're they better design and normally lighter than H beam rods. Does crower claim that those hold more power than the eagle rods claim? They should in theory since the I beam is the stronger design and has more mass (and hence more material, and more total strength).
