You can't beat ESP(Eagle Specialty Products) rods for the price. They're around $330-350/set, forged H-beam, and are very durable. They're good for up to 600-700hp. Make sure you get some ARP rod bolts as well.

I have Eagle H rods in my B18C1 swap. I went with them because Crower just seemed like overkill and they're pretty darned expensive. I got my rods off of www.groupbuycenter.com from www.importparts.com for a really good price.

They have ARP bolts and they're super nice! What motor are you building?

I would personally rather go with Wiseco, and hand sand them myself to Endyn spec
They're cheaper than JE's, too
