I think they sell them on the arrow web site at more than thatChef -
The ones I use for a Vauxhall which are custom made cost me that so its certainly a fair price.
With nuts I presume ?Comment

I think I paid about £110 for mine a couple of years ago, so that sounds like a reasonable price for them.91 Modded 3B

WOW @ the price of their rods !Comment

I'm well aware of that ! What I meant is the prices are high compared to what I have paid for previous Arrow stuff
By far the best stuff on the market, I was just having a browse to see what Audi parts they do but not that much compared to the Vauxhall range.Comment

"By far the best stuff on the market, I was just having a browse to see what Audi parts they do but not that much compared to the Vauxhall range."
They are only the best if they are made by Carrillo, by the look of them they might well be carrillo rods just with there name on.
If i was going to spend that much for rods they would have to be carrillo.Comment

HA HA
Seriously is that what you believe ??
I think you will find the Arrow stuff is made in house and also happens to be the best available, Carrillo are in no way better than Arrow in any shape or form, at the best they are equally as good but no more than that.
Look at a dozen sets of steel rods and they look like Arrow or Carrillo or any of the top name brands, you can guarantee that when you buy from Arrow your not being palmed off with cheap Chinese crap.Comment
