Re: OEM Conrods worth it?
has anyone done a cost comparison between buying new stock pistons and rings from Subaru vs Arias/CP/etc aftermarket? I kinda like the idea of getting stock pistons coated (dome) if it's cost effective.

.5mm oversized pistons w/ oversized rings will cost roughly $800-$900...

Re: OEM Conrods worth it?
The STi rods come in sets of 4 each. He needs 6 and not 4, just in case he buys 4 + 2 used off nasioc, doesn't he need to balance all 6? Or this is just applicable for brand new eagle rods?
