You mean for your aggressively driven DD, right?
Carillo Pro A is one of the best.

If it's a B18c motor and you'll be running Honda pistons, I'd just go with the stock rods as they'd be plenty strong for what you're doing.

Since when did cosworth start making rods for b18c?????? Last time I checked, they had a very limited amount of products for Hondas....and they were all for the k20....

Why not Eagle or Manley? 4340 steel for right around $300 a set and plenty strong with the ARP2000 bolts.

They can be made to order by Cosworth UK, but they are very expensive. They are not an off the shelf part

I was looking at eagle but they are heavy in comparison to other aftermarket forged rods I have been researching

They were not listed because the OP asked for the "best conrods" lol. They work but not really worth it for an na b18c.

Carillo, Cunningham, Crower Maxilight, etc. is what you should be looking at.

Well hell, if your gonna spend a stupid amount of money special ordering rods from the UK, you might as well have custom Carrillo's made from their Gen4 material...probably stronger/lighter then the Cosworth's with a comparable price.

Back to the topic, I would personally choose carrillo super pro-a's or crower maxilite's... the regular carrillo pro-a's weigh less but have smaller rod bolts which I do not like.
