Carillo hands down the best steel rods you can buy (as told to me from major engine builders). Mahle pistons are the best as well FWIW

^ I agree. If you go with whats recommended above, you'll have 1 of the lightest rod ("A" beam carillo rod) / piston combo's out there.

Are you talking about the Pauter rods that Magnus sells or do they offer another rod of their own design now?

Pauter rods are pretty much the strongest rod I have ever used and I've used a lot. They are the only rod I have seen survive an engine suffer hydrolock so severe that it pushed the wrist pins through a set of Ross pistons.
