Not trying to be a PITA or naysayer, just asking to make sure you really will get what you think you will pay for.

Pete,
They are very similar in weight to the Carrillos at 558 grams vs the 691 grams the current stock rods are with the ARP hardware installed. They are also an H beam rod same as Carrillo, but they are manufactured in Germany.
It is a much stronger rod than stock, and they are provided with ARP hardware with similar rated tensile strength to the stock replacement ARP bolts and more importantly they have a much more rigid end cap to better provide a dimensionally stable big end dimension at sustained high rpm.
