Try $1350 plus GST for Argo rods.
I just bought a set of PAR rods and they were $1265 a set. I should have bought Argo! Due to some incredibly bad communication error on my part???? I must have ordered the wrong big end bush size for these wonderful fault free rods!!!. When they arrived (2 weeks late), they delivered 19mm gudgeon pin little ends instead of 18mm. I cant recall increasing the pin diameter but hey I must have as they could not have made a mistake...... could they????? Damn???? how could I get such a basic dimension wrong and realise it immediately the rods turned up???? Obviously I should have also told them to make the gudgeon boss 2mm narrower than they did so it did not hit the pistons gudgeon support boss before the pin could go through the rod. On questioning the reply I got was "we made it 2mm wider to give more support to the gudgeon pin" ! . To add insult to injury I should also have told them it was for a 71mm bore. The diagonals across the big end were 71.6mm so they would not fit down the bore even with the caps off. I obviously do need to upgrade my communicatons skills!!! The end result is it cost me $540 to make a set of $1265 rods useable in the application. Naturally they offered to make it right by sending them back to Sydney. After looking at the product I was "given" why would you bother. I think they just draw something up and made it cause it looked good on screen. The rods are twice the stock rod weight I reckon. I'm just going to take a really good communications course to prevent this sort of thing happening to me again!!!!!!!!!!!

i got told by an engine builder that i can get them for around $1200 "because of who you know i guess" they are for a race motor and for high revs that why i need them.

If you need custom rods then go for Argo in my opinion!
