⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alex Reynolds - Automotive Hobbyist
"Installed the Advanced Model connecting rod in my modified Daihatsu Copen JB engine build. The 10% weight reduction and nitrided surface made a noticeable difference in throttle response and high-RPM stability. I’ve pushed it to 8,500 RPM with zero signs of fatigue. Precision fitment meant no clearance issues during assembly—exactly what you want when building a high-revving motor."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Luca Moretti - Trackside Mechanic, Alpine Motorsports
"We’ve been using the Pro Model forged steel connecting rods in our endurance racing Toyota 4A-GZE swaps. The FIA homologation gave us confidence going into the 24H Series, and they’ve held up flawlessly under continuous high-load conditions. Even after 18 hours of runtime at 7,800 RPM average, post-race inspections showed wear rates below 0.02 mm—better than spec. Worth every penny for serious builds."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ James Wu - Owner, Apex Tuning Garage
"We’ve used these rods across multiple customer builds—from street-tuned Copens to full-blown time attack engines. The customization options are a game-changer. We once requested a +1.5mm bore and shot-peened finish for a nitrous-assisted setup, and they delivered in just 10 days. The hollow design consistently improves engine balance, but I’d love to see more standard length options for quicker quoting."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Diaz - DIY Performance Builder
"As someone building their first forced-induction Copen, I was nervous about internal engine components. The supplier provided detailed compatibility guidance and helped me choose the Base Model with upgraded surface treatment. After 6,000 miles and 300+ WHP on a dyno, no stretch, no cracks—just smooth power delivery. Even my mechanic was impressed by the finish quality."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Daniel Park - Amateur Racer & Track Day Regular
"Put the Racing I4 659cc connecting rod into my track-prepped Copen with a 300cc turbo upgrade. The high-strength steel and hollow center combo lets me rev harder without worrying about failure. Lap times dropped by 1.2 seconds average—partly due to faster acceleration from reduced reciprocating mass. No oil temp spikes either, thanks to the heat-treated design."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months

Mike Tran - Senior Engine Builder, Velocity Dynamics
"In the world of small-displacement forced-induction engines, reliability under stress is everything. These high-strength steel connecting rods exceed SAE J2224 standards and offer real engineering advantages—especially the precision-machined bearing surfaces and ±0.01mm tolerances. I recommend them for any build exceeding 250 HP in I4 platforms."
Dr. Lena Fischer - Automotive Materials Specialist
"The strength-to-weight ratio of 120 N/mm² in the Advanced Model places this product ahead of most OEM and aftermarket competitors. The use of nitrided surfaces and composite bronze/steel bearings significantly reduces micro-pitting and adhesive wear—critical for endurance applications. A benchmark in compact performance engine design."
