    Had a bit of luck finding Rods, but not enough info for my liking, dont wanna end up with the cheap chinese made stuff, soo.......... can anyone point me in the right direction, or better still, done and fitted them to their T5 already?

    Most forged rods are china rods now with rebranding by the resellers after. Sten Parner rods are rebranded as are a few other big names. China rods are good quality if you by from a reputed seller. Try Don at Kalmar as I think he is selling rods.
