I haven't personally used them, but I know a couple guys that are using them and have no problems. The machine shop around me says that they're not the best rods and install is a little bit of a problem, not a big problem, but a little one.

2 friends w/ integra's using them. One dynoed at 174 and the other never dynoed b4 he sold it. But it was autoXC a LOT and held up well. This was fully built B18C1 too, with almost all JUN parts

My friend's are running Type R's. One has 193 to the wheels, but he's got an oversized bore, increased stroke, fully balanced, stage 2 clutch, spoon fly wheel, port and polished head, increased compression. The other Type R's haven't been dynoed.

I would prefer Pauter Ibeam rods with JE pistons. That combo is def good for 300WHP and probably alot more.

i was taliking to reaceeng.com and they said eagle rods aren't worth the money and are not much stonger than stock in somecases, the best rods are crower pr-billet not econo, but they are expensive
