    You can use LS, but mostly everyone else leans towards Eagle

    the only rods that will work with an ls crank are b16 b17 and ls. b16 nor the b17 will work because they are both to short. the problem with stock ls rods is they wont hold up under the load. u have a better chance with arp bolts but still running a risk. normally i use aftermarket rods and arp bolts if the aftermarket rods doesnt come with them.
