Is that 150 bucks going to feel great in your pocket if your stock rods let go and it sets you back another grand to rebuild it? In the context of like a full-race kit vs. pieced together JY kit, then yeah, that's a good place to save money. But if you're rebuilding your motor for the long term don't be a cheap bastard, save for another week or two, and put eagle rods in it.
