Eagle Extreme Duty Connecting Rod Chevrolet LD9 2.4L Cavalier Z24 | Malibu 1996-2002 - CRS5710CXD

If you're diving into some serious performance upgrades, you've probably heard of Eagle. These folks have been around the block a few times, and their reputation for quality is hard-earned. They've built a loyal following, and honestly, it's not just talk. Their commitment to improving every aspect of their products has made them a go-to for connecting rods and crankshafts. I’ve seen them evolve over the years, and it’s impressive how they keep pushing the envelope. Always looking for ways to make their stuff lighter and stronger, they stay ahead of the game—because let’s face it, in this industry, if you’re not moving forward, you’re getting left behind.

Now, let’s talk about these Eagle Extreme Duty Connecting Rods. If you’re going for big power, these forged 4340 steel H-Beam rods are what you need. They’re not just a pretty face; they’re built to handle the most extreme applications you can throw at them. The two-piece forging gives them a solid structure, and they come fully machined, shot-peened, and polished. Trust me, that kind of attention to detail means they hold sizing to exact tolerances—no guesswork here.

When you order, just let them know what weight you need, and they’ll hook you up. Each set comes with four rods, and they’re ready to take on whatever you’ve got planned. The specs? They’ve got it all: a center-to-center length of 5.71 inches, a pin size of 0.866 inches, and a typical weight of around 550 grams. Plus, they’re bushed for a full-floating piston pin, making installation a breeze.

Who is EAGLE?

EAGLE SPECIALTY PRODUCTS, aka EAGLE, has been at the forefront of developing top-quality engine components. The company officially started back in 1992 but has been developing their product for ten years prior.  Since the company started, it has continuously produced some of the market's best engine components and is widely used by engine builders worldwide.

Imitated But Not Duplicated

Due to the company's success, its products have been imitated by other companies even up to the part numbers. But the similarity ends only up to how they look. EAGLE uses the finest materials and has invested in the most state-of-the-art manufacturing machinery for them to create a product that would be able to take any punishment it is subjected to. It is tested to be superior to other brands and considered the best upgrade for OEM counterparts.

No To Shortcuts

The company sets the benchmark on how valves should be properly made. Using their years of experience creating rods, they have already designed over 200 different rods and 180 crankshafts. The company does not allow cost to compromise its material used, manufacturing process, and quality test. 

High-End Quality

All of Eagle's products are made up of high-quality materials. They use certified 4340 Chromoly steel. Using their own special heat treatment process, they are able to create a product that is much stronger compared to other competitors using the same raw material. 

They manufacture their rods using a 2-piece forging process that allows the rod to be stronger. This process orients the "grain" of the metal to the direction of the stress. Eagle uses a state-of-the-art Sunnen Krossgrinding system that allows them to create perfect cuts and bore consistently.
