Wanted S38 3.8 Connecting Rods (not stock)
Looking for a set of 3.8 142.5mm Connecting Rods. Not the stock ones, something aftermarket / lighter.

Thanks.

If anyone knows the weights of any manufacturers rod, and wouldn't mind posting them that would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi

Buy the best Autoverdi connecting rods. 142,5 mm lenght, very light and strong. The stock connecting rods are quite light and strong enough to handle 800 hp short periods of time. In Sweden there is one turbocharged M5 with this power level and original connecting rods. Original pistons don´t survive this hp level so forged ones are used.

Best Regards, Janne.
