Experience with K1 connecting rods?
Anyone have anything good to say about these rods? I'm looking at some internals and whatnot for a turbo build for my B16 Spec V, and along with lowering the compression with some Wiseco pistons I"ll want to get some rods as well. I'm pretty much seeing Carillo H-Beams, Crower Billets and K1 H-Beam rods. I can possibly get a really good deal on the K1's, like 1/2 the price of the other options. Any input would be appreciated.

Ok, anyone prefer Carillo or Crower or think it would be wiser to just use those? I'm planning on using some Wiseco 89mm 9:1 and some Darton sleeves. I'd prefer to get some quality stuff into this build.

K1's are good. The guy who started that company made most of the designs for Oliver rods. Pretty sure Weisco is the parent company.
