Default Skat Rods any good?

I just did a search but found nothing...

... Anybody had any experience of Skat rods?

Good or Bad?

I'm looking at boosting a B16 with a max boost of 12 psi ( I doubt I will run to this )


Thanks, Paul.

Scat,Eagle,Crower Econo,Tuner Toys,insert generic name are all the same rod.If it is a forged connecting rod for your engine and has ARP hardware buy it.Once you step past the 2-350 price range things change but until then its a connecting rod made in a factory in China and boxed by the purchaser.Im sure some like Eagle,Crower etc inspect and double check theres before selling vs the ebay,TT rods etc but that doesnt change the fact.

got them in my C5 block with forged pistons, and a Gt3076r. did quite a bit of searching before i bought them with not many complaints from owners. basicly what 90dxhmt said, scat, eagle, crower, theyre all the same.
