Can I get away without resizing the rods seeing how they are capscrew style bolts? I would rather not spend the money on resizing the stock rods if I can avoid it. Thanks, Eric L

Katech rod bolts are a direct replacement, you don't have to resize the rod with them, As far as how the katechs compare to arp's strength wise, I couldn't tell you, i email'd katech and they told me "we have not researched arp's fasteners so we do not know".
I would also like to know myself how strong the katechs are at their lower torque recommendation and if they are just as strong as the ARP's at the(katech's) lower spec
