    couldnt tell you whether they any good but check feedback before buying and see what other peeps have paid. you may get 50 quid or more off the buy it now price.

    I'm just slightly skeptical I was looking at these a while ago & they were £200 or best offer, now they're £300 it's still £200-250 cheaper than any where else

    I'm close to the point of thinking it's too good to be true

    Problem with feedback is that it's probably been left as soon as the rods had arrived, none of how well they worked (or not ) once fitted

    What sort of power are you intending to run?

    I may be wrong but I thought the standard conrods were meant to be fine up to quite high power figures, i.e. even 300+ bhp. Obviously I would wait for someone to confirm that but I recall a few people saying that the standard items are ok up to some pretty high power figures.

    I know what you mean, but I'm gonna get forged rods anyway, don't want to go mental but it would give me the option to go with silly power if I wanted to in the future

    My mate has just bought some from these people for his V70 T5

    alri .....i got these conrods....the build quility is good but you have to get the block machined as the crank wont do a full revolution cause there too chunky......also new tags have to be cut out to fit bearings as there on the wrong side....but as said they look like they could take a lot of abuse.......i still have mine as i had no time to get the block done......if u want them ill post em anal for £200
