Just curious, but would you mind posting where you got them and what you paid?
I got Pauter rods from Lindsey for my engine.

I bought a new boxed set of Carrillos from the owner of a supercharged 968 , his engine went bang before he got a chance to fit them. Also have a mint S2 crank and 2.7 engine on a stand in the garage, saved for the future...

My actual spec sheet is not currently available, but these are advertised as 669 grams, balanced to within 1 gram.

What are stock forged rods again? About 850gms? Wonder if the cast are lighter?

How much does an after market 3.0 turbo piston weigh in comparison to an original 2.5 turbo piston ?
