Eagle vs. Crower Rods

[accordy2g]

What is the difference between the two, I know that the price is much different but what about quality. I mean they are both forged and lots of people use them. Im asking cause sometime this summer i would like to purchase rods but want the rods that will not brake boostin 15-20.. Thanks for any help.

I would say quailty is about the same, I think that Crower is just a hair stronger. But I think that eagle is the cheaper of the two, so I would go with the less pricey rods. Just dyno tune your set up, and you will be fine.

about $300 per set of four ;)

sorry, had to be a smart-ass.

a guy who owns a shop that I talked to suggested the crowers over the eagles for more than 20 psi, but then again, I haven't heard of anyone breaking either one.

for me, I kinda wouldn't mind spending the extra $300 while I'm building the block just for the piece of mind that the bottom end has the same rods and a 700hp civic drag car :D

yeah, the honda ones are twigs compared to the real deal. crower and eagle just have different designs, one is "H" beam and the other is "I" beam.

I think crower is the only one of the two that you can get in titanium :D a little exspensive though, about $600 each :eek:

yeah what candy said i would go with crower only cause you no there strong because alot of drag cars pushing 700hp have the same type and not to many if any have eagle rods i wouldn't mind spending a little more if i no my block is goin to be ok
