forged rods are the strongest. i'd look into the forged JDM STi rods, or something from a company such as Carillo (i may have misspelled the name).

JDM STi Spec C and RA rods are forged, and I believe Crower and Easgle make forged EJ20 rods. Just about any of them will be strong enough to make 2.0 liters' worth of power.

No, we havent bought any Ti rods... Imagine a full set of forged, that is the price for ONE ti rod... Not really worth the money in my opinion.
