Hi Brett,
Haven't heard of them. They seem high performance rods. I have 2737E rods @ $ 25 ea
plus shipping unless you're building a plus 140 hp engine. Pete
PS I've tried 2x to send a message. I hope it goes thru this time. If not one will know.

Thanks Pete for the offer but I do have a bunch of rods here that I can use, I was just wondering why those aftermarket rods seemed so well priced? There is so much aftermarket, Chinese made stuff out there that might be quite sub-standard or not, that it makes me suspicious of buying anything these days.

Most manufacturing is done in China for popular name brands. 40% of tires sold in the
U.S. are produced in China for Pireli, Michelin, Uniroyal, and probably for more famous U.S. and European tire companies. U.S. is not the top manufacturing country in the world anymore. The Quality of Chinese made products has much improved in the last few years.
And we don't have much of a choice when purchasing any product from a famous U.S. or Euro company, its probably made in China anyway.

I get it, there is so much made there and I know they can make good quality if needed but there is a lot of sub-standard stuff too, I think I will just use what I have.
