Carrillo A-beam rods because they are plenty strong for the application and keep the weight down (489 grams). These are the rods NISMO sells at a huge mark up. Carrillo rods are made in San Clemente California of a proprietary chrome/nickel/vanadium aloy known as Carrilloloy.
Eagle rods are made in China.
Pauter rods are overkill and weigh 655 grams.
If you go with low Si pistons (not brittle, can handle higher boost, MAY be noisier) then the Z1 designed Wiseco pistons because the pin is offset (like stock) to reduce any potential for noise and the custom quench pad maximizes burn efficiency. If you go with high Si (brittle and more likely too shatter in the event of detonation, can't handle as much boost, potentially quieter) then Arias because they are nice and light. JE and CP also make great pistons.
FYI, SGP does not make pistons so you might want to ask what company made them.
