Goldenrods are billet aluminum.. most Aluminum rods are forged, and if you dont know the history of them, can have an unknown life expectancy. Forged aluminum rods are subject to stress corrossion, and can deteriorate over time. I have a set of Goldenrods, they guy I got them from said he had heard of one failing, but it had been run hard for a long time..
Goldenrods held up to 200-300 hp, so at 80 or maybe 100 hp, I will take my chances.. after splitting a set of 69 cases apart, and finding 20 pieces of a Yoshi rod, I got no desire to complete that set of 3 rods..
What are RCS rods ?
