Used a couple of sets in various engineswe've done, have yet to have one fail, look alright. So I guess that kind of answers your question.

Used them in a N/A SR20(serious N/A engine though) & a couple of RB turbo builds all race use stuff, not really that the factor stuff isn't that great just the guys decided to build their engines with all aftermarket bits incase they wanted more power.

Also used the PAR billet rods in heaps of stuff along with our own Billet rods in some stuff(Mostly one off stuff that is not off the shelf) without any drama's

Only rods I've ever had problems with apart from factory stuff has been some of the Eagle stuff, but then also run heaps of other sets of Eagles with out hassle.
