Default WTB Manley rods

Car hasn't had an engine for months now waiting for them. Anyone have an unused set?
Thanks

K1 rods are another good option and what I have in my car.
The engine builder was impressed with them since they required very little work to ensure they weighed exactly the same (still charged me the normal 4 cylinder rod-balancing cost though :( ).

Manley, K1 or Eagle rods are very similar in quality.

"Manley" sounds better but nobody's going to think it makes your "hairdresser's car" any more masculine :P

They finally shipped. Thanks for the replies but you were all a little late. I wanted Manley because they're a reputable and trusted brand with a long history of working for turbo BP motors. And no, nobody thinks that boasting about your "manly rods" is very... Masculine.

Reviving this thread to see if anyone else has a set of the above brands mentioned or knows of some in stock ATM . Manley is ready to release a shipment in a few weeks but a bird in the hand and all that.
Looking because my maxspeeding set came back OOS from my builder. I have reached out to Bill @ miata roadster but haven't heard back yet. TIA

edit:VVV Thanks, I preordered a set as well, just like to have a plan B
