I am looking all around the net. problem is i dunno a good trustworthy place to order from. and good pricing. so if anyone can recommend a couple of sites/shops, please help. Hopefully i can find a set well under $1100. pistons for around $500 or even less, and rods for around $600. thanks

So you don't get flamed in future, they are just rods, not piston rods. IIRC the stock rods are factory forged and shot peened. They should hold to over 400HP, so just get a new factory set and probably save yourself some cash.

First of all, did you guys even read my post? i never asked for their official name wat they are called blah blah blah. I put Pistons Rods. not piston rods. well sorry if you guys want things to be specific, then i shudda put pistons / con rods, i guess you guys are sayin im stupid or sumthin. u want me to be more clear? ok im lookin for Connecting rods and pistons for my KA24DE, 1995 240sx se, is that better? i was looking for some recomendations not bs. I think that people who actually have pistons and con rods will know what the he11 im talkin about.

sorry, wasnt trying to be an A$$ to you. most people with ka engines are running crower or eagle rods, pistons can be made custom to order so even high quility honda places can make them


try places like JE, do you know exactly what youre looking for,
or are you still undecided, as far as getting dome or dish pistons

Pistons - JE, Arias
Rods - Crower, Carillo

Those are what the top 5 horsepower KA-Ts are running, in some combo. JE and Crower make up the top 2, and Jay ran JE and Carillo, I think. I'm running JE and Crower myself.
CIPmotorsports has good prices on those pieces, but don't expect to pay less than $150/piece.
