Carrillos are 4330 vacuum melt steel, US made. Pauters are also US made.
They are made in China, and "finish machined in the USA" to what they claim is a decent tolerance.

with 3/8" ARP bolts they should be actually a bit stronger than the 9mm replacement bolts for the 3.2 Carrera.

I'm guessing if they made an SC rod (they don't) they'd have gained a bit more attention on the forum. As it happens the 3.2 and 964 share rod dimensions.

I would stand to shave a good 100g per rod off the motor. Not a bad thing.
