Usually Just like anything else you get what you pay for. I've seen cheaper quality connecting rods break under pressure from driving at the track or even just on the street. I personally would not chance it to save a couple hundred if it meant me having to spend A LOT more to have to fix it later, or even worse if it caused a wreck. .02
