Re: Connecting Rods
Mahle has absolutely zero interest in Stock Eliminator or Super Stock pistons. For that matter, no one would want to pay their price or sit through their delivery wait.

Re: Connecting Rods
I have had good luck with both Manley and Crower. Both make the light weight version for Stock/Superstock

Re: Connecting Rods
So far never had to wait for any Mahle pistons I have ordered and there prices seem to be pretty good as they come with rings on the Power Pack kits.

Re: Connecting Rods
I have had zero issues with both Scat and Manley rods. Used several sets of Scat rods and cranks. Manley rods in the car right now.
Had to re-size one set of Eagle rods right out of the box, and had the rod bolt threads pull out of one first time it was torqued. Appeared to have been drilled with too big a bit initially. Others in that set had very shallow threads as well. Thankfully I didn't order nor pay for either set. :-)
