Lately, Arrows is offering rods for our cars as well but I don't have any 1st hand experience with them.

Pauter machine also makes very nice pieces. It depends on your budget and what you want, $500 rods, $1000 rods, $4000 rods. Another thing to take into consideration is the mass of the rod. There are several rods right at or slightly above 500g which is really light for a beefy rod. Rods are something that needs to be determined by the builder and what you are going with. Off the shelf rods just don't cut it in my opinion. Its all marketing.
