This is why I said to find out what the Carillos are weighed with :) The weight savings you think you're getting for twice the price might not actually be there at all.

What's left of a '96 Miata with stock clutch.
My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.
Just got confirmation from Carillo corporate that the weights that they list are inclusive of the cap, bolts, and bushing. Too bad this is not an industry-wide standard. Maybe it's just the resellers that muck up the issue to trick us end users.

As odd as it is to say, that kind of sucks.
Have you looked into Eagle, Pauter (do they make Miata rods...I forget?). I know there's a few others...Belfab? Not sure anymore, there were really just the two different Carillos when I got mine years ago. I actually just heard about the M-Tunes a few months ago.
Several different rods available, I was just trying to find something that was lighter than the stock rod (like the Carillo A) but less expensive. No such beast exists.
