ABOUT SPOOL CONRODS

Spool Conrods have been in production now for 5 years and have a large range of conrods available for the majority of High Performance IMPORT vehicles on the market. If we don't have it listed we are probably in the process of getting it made.
All our conrods are stocked here in Brisbane Australia and we send items nationally and international usually with 24 hours of receiving your order. All items sent internationally are sent express air freight unless otherwised instructed.
Spool Conrods are one of the best priced and best quality conrods on the market. The finish, sizing and strength is exceptional, and in my opinion and many engine builders they are as good or better than other more expensive brands on the market. Tolerances are kept within +- 0.0001" and each set is match weighted to +- 1 gram.
Have a look at the " Project Cars " section of this website to see some of the incredible power that is being made with SPOOL Conrods.

A bit of information about forged con rods.
Forged Steel rods - begin life as bars of SAE certified 4340 Steel ( high carbon which is far superior to the low carbon 51 series steel used in most OEM forged rods ) that pass through a rolling forge die.
This compacts the molecular structure and establishs a uniform, longitudinal grain flow. The bars are then heated to a plasticized state, inserted into a female die and pressed into the near final shape while a punch locates and knocks out the big end bore.
In doing this the grain flow at the big end is redirected in a circular pattern, like wood fibres surrounding a knot , and excellent compressive / tensile strength results. Finally the rod is put through CNC machining and finished to the final spec.
