If your replaceing the pistond with aftermarket ones, you can use an aftermarket rod. Crower, Eagle, Paluter, ect. I suggest Eagles, they are a good value for the money compared to the others.

If your using oem Honda pistons that you need to use oem rods. The difference is in the piston pin design. Aftermarket rods use slip fit pins and retainer clips to hold the pin in place. OEM rods use a machine pressed pin to hold it in place, there are no machined grooves in the pistons for any retainers. I have see OEM pistons modified by adding retainer clip grooves but I really don't feel great about that idea. You have to decide.

If you are going to go with OEM rods you stick to the LS or B20 rods, definetly change the weal oem rod bolts out for ARP bolts, possibly have them shotpeened if you like. If you are going with after market rods you should order Integra LS rods.

Good luck, try searching old archived posts....alot of the info you will need is in there
