    From this point forward I will only address FCP as you seem to be bandwagoning.

      Guys Please concentrate on the subject.

      @Wizard-of-OD
      You made a point and helped for information on this thread. Thanks for that.

      We all here know that either FCP and JEMO (and others) sell cheeper rods are made in China. Many of us also know/understand that the main difference between all these rods made over there is the quality control and weight differences ect. FCP and JEMO have cars to show that run their rods with big HP.

      Many forum members also run Scat rods or even rods that Aronmatic (IIRC) sold a while ago that also are made in china without issues. As long as the product is quality checked for material and tolerances (dimensional and weight) and the bolts are that what they sold for then there should be no problem.

      I find it good to ask for details (as you do) and if the company provides them ti is also good for their reputation.

      BTW if I could I would go for Pankl but they are way out of my budget and I think either FCP or JEMO will be far better than stock ones.

        Please share contact details of the DM Forged and or other so that we can add them.

        This GB runs some time now but we could add them. I put them (JEMO and FCP) at the beginning as budget option (with good reputation in the forum) and was also a subject of talk in the original thread asking about uprated rods.

                Looks like those who ordered X-beam are getting Pauters for half the price

                  Do X-beams need upper bearings (piston pin)? Or do they already come with them? I can source Glyco units - 55-3698 SEMI.

                    Rods come with bushing. Pistons have the pin.
