Crower vs Pauter Rods
Ok, I'm asking which is better in terms of holding up power. Should I go with Crower, which is made to order, or Pauter, which I can order from KORE?

Well, they only come for 2.0L engines, so unless you plan on installing a 2.0L crank, you should get 1.8L rods. The 1.6L and 1.8L share stroke/rods.
For the price, I think the crower rods are the better deal. However, we will be getting a bid from Crower and Pauter for the group buy, and that might drop the prices closer to each other.

So what are the differences between the two in terms of design, strength, etc? Which would have more "bang for the buck"? And finally, what should I pick for my 300+ hp goal?

I don't know at what level Pauer rates their rods...
Crower rods for the 2.0L are rated for 600lbs of torque at 8,000 RPM's; or about 914 horsepower. You will never break one. smile.gif
