End of the day, stock rods are forged... "Forged" is not a standard to go by...
From what I've seen everyone bitching about the cheap maxspeeding rods etc - most of the rods you buy online are just those rods with the companies branding on in a fancy box.
Price doesn't dictate how good a product is - I've seen enough cheapy Chinese rods to know that yes, the quality control isn't ideal, they are definitely very variable - you do take a risk and you may have to have a little work done... The chances of them destroying themselves is low and realistically, engines are cheap - the vast majority of people here haven't got incredibly expensive components (heads, blocks, pistons, turbochargers) and most people here are considering their time spent as nil cost - that's not always the case and there's definitely a place for expensive items...
I'd stick them in a motor if I was just using it as a toy... If we're talking competition motorsport, that's an entirely different kettle of fish, but for the uses of most people on here, they're just fine...
