• Match the engine first. The K20C1 rod set suits the Honda Civic Type R (FK8 and FL5), and the PRO-H rod set for the Audi 2.5 TFSI suits DAZA and DNWA engines in the RS3 (8V/8Y) and TT RS (8S).
• Check the pin size against your pistons. The K20C1 rods use a 22mm pin and the Audi rods a 23mm pin, as used in most forged pistons.
• These are PRO-H beam rods with 3/8" bolts. The K20C1 set is 143.71mm centre to centre and the Audi set is 144mm.
• These rods are made for turbocharged and supercharged engines, so plan pistons, bearings and the tune with your engine builder at the same time.

Connecting rod installation is machine shop and engine builder work, not a driveway job. Rods need to be matched to your piston and crank combination, and clearances checked properly during the build. Installation by a professional is recommended. If you're upgrading rods, you're usually in the bottom end for other reasons too (pistons, bearings or a full rebuild), so plan those parts and the tune with your engine builder at the same time.

Confirm your exact engine code before ordering. The K20C1 is shared by the FK8 and FL5 Civic Type R, but double check your build sheet if the engine has had prior work. The Audi set is listed for DAZA and DNWA engines.

What's the realistic power ceiling with these rods?
It depends on the rest of the build: pistons, crank, tune and fuel all play a part, not just the rods. Talk to your engine builder about the full combination before setting a power target.
