Has there been any movement on this?

not really, I definitely need ~10 people to buy. I am not looking to make money on this, I am pretty much selling them for what they cost.
I am doing this just to get a set, i just don't want to pay +$700 for them. :-P

So these would work on an AAZ as well as 1Z/AHU?

any 1.6L rods in the near future I might be interested in. I am trying to build a 1.6 TD and want it bulletproof. I will have it as a daily driver, but I would like to run some boost :twisted: and have it last for years. Let us all know.

I will be ordering a set for my self soon, please let me know if you want a set. They should work in any None PD 1.9l
12 week wait, after order.

Same boat as this guy.

Corilla quoted me at just over $800/set of 4. too much for me.

as much as I want to trust the stock rods, they LOOK flimsy

The price is over 800 unless I get 10 ppl to order.
