WTB Manley rods
#3
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.
Glad it worked out for ya though!

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
