Im hopping my FR rods will get here today too!!! Im also putting CP 84mm pistons on them. What sleeves are you going with?

Trak_Day

Sleeves are undecided it is between GE and Benson, but the price difference is what has me leaning towards GE (unless Earl wants to pm me!!!) We will see....who is everyone else using i am looking at going well over 500whp on this one!!!

FULLTHROTTLE

Go Benson, you wont be dissapointed. Nice setup BTW.

whats the best price you've been quoted on the GE sleeves? Recently?

Even though the bensons are a little more they are worth it in the long run..

Trak_Day

My GE price would be under 900 shipped if that does anything for you

5thgencivic

I think the GE's are going for like $750?

Mochanic

I can do GE's for $735 plus shipping! (I used to do them for $635, but they raised their prices by $100)

The project sounds like it's coming along. Now there will be two cars in this area with these rods

Trak_Day

Yeah you will probably be done about a month or 2 before me because i just bought some stuff that wasnt for the car but for my GF so i spent some money that i was saving for the car...DOH Thats alright i gotta get another job

I would suggest Darton sleeves by a REPUTABLE Able Machine Shop or go RS Machines, AEBS or Bensons. Those are my suggestions only. Remember PRICE isn't everything I once thought it was and had been down for over a year due to BEING CHEAP ON SLEEVES and I have now regretted ever doing it. Cheaper is not always better. BUt everyone has their own opinions and/or experiencesalot of very good and some bad as well. Whatever you choose GOOD LUCK! Also 93LSivic on here does Dartons http://www.fuzionauto.com/ and my local machine shop has done many many Darton sleeve installs ithout any mishaps http://www.abacusracing.com (757)363-8878

I chose to go with Benson (my blocks on its way to earl right now). They are costing me about $1100 after shipping and paying for the box I built to ship the block in...

Dosn't look like my rods are going to get here today
