After needing new rods, these guys were recommended to me.

Johnathan and Mitch from R-Sport maintained clear communication with me throughout the buying process. Johnathan's help and advice was great. Mitch was always ontop of shipping details.

R-Sport initially sent me the wrong parts. No biggie, A return shipping refund was offered, and the parts were to be replaced. Stock was short, but the day the new stock arrived, they were shipped out to me (c/o Joseph). Two days later (today) the parts have arrived.

Overall, a really pleasant transaction with these guys! I would buy from them again, and I recommend them for your upgraded engine internals!

(I will post again re: Quality of the parts, as they have not yet been installed.)

Took a while to get my rods, but eventually got them. Pin bore was out of spec, but overall good quality. ~15k miles on them w/ 0 issues.

Took a couple of tries to get the right rods. Required a bit of finish machining (pin bore) but fit and finish is solid.

I ordered a set of rods. As they are a smaller operation, getting through was not as simple but no big deal.
Rods were shipped within 24 hours of placing the order and arrived promptly.
I cannot speak for quality however, as I re-sold them shortly after changing my plans rolleyes.gif

When I tried to order mine, they were currently out of stock and didn't expect any in for another few weeks. Within 2 days they found a set for me in Wisconsin. They also kept in contact with me during my rebuild process to see how things were going. No issues at all with the rods. I have at least 5k on them and 1 track day.
