VW RODS

Whether you are performing a standard rebuild on a 1600cc Beetle engine or building a high-torque stroker motor for a sand rail, our rods provide the durability you need. We carry a range of styles, from lightweight I-beam rods that reduce reciprocating mass for quicker throttle response, to heavy-duty forged H-beam rods engineered to handle extreme cylinder pressures and high-RPM stress.

Our Connecting Rod Selection Features:

• Forged 4340 Chromoly Steel: The industry standard for performance, offering incredible strength-to-weight ratios.

• H-Beam & I-Beam Designs: Choose H-beams for maximum strength in turbocharged or high-horsepower builds, or I-beams for a balanced, high-revving street setup.

• Premium Hardware: Many of our performance rod sets come equipped with high-tensile ARP rod bolts to ensure your bottom end stays together under pressure.

• Precision Balancing: Our rods are manufactured to tight weight tolerances, reducing engine vibration and extending bearing life.

• Stroker Clearance: Specifically designed options with reduced shoulder profiles to clear high-lift camshafts and long-stroke crankshafts.
