Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda B16A Connecting Rods SKU: SKK306-05-1160


Alpha Series Rods are forged from select 4340 chromoly steel and feature an H-beam design, resulting in the ultimate strength-to-weight ratio. 

The 4340 chromoly is one of the strongest materials available, however, not all 4340 chromoly is the same. 

As such, Skunk2 relies on extensive material testing and works closely with its foundry to produce high-quality rods at an affordable price. 

Comprehensive heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening processes together ensure that each Alpha Series Rod remains consistent and strong. 

Finally, each rod is magna-fluxed to ensure integrity and that each process has been completed thoroughly and according to Skunk2's rigid specifications. 

Skunk2's engineers spent nearly three years developing and testing its H-beam rod design. The results are one of the strongest beam configurations available, capable of handling more than 900 hp. 

Engineers made use of FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to determine high-stress points and implemented features to reduce wear and increase strength. 

Skunk2's straight design distributes stress across a larger area when compared to tapered rods, providing additional support where necessary. 

Alpha Series Rods are manufactured from two-piece forgings, resulting in optimal grain orientation along the rod cap for increased strength. 

By orienting the metal's grain in the direction of stress along the rod cap, perpendicular to the stress exerted along the beam, strength is significantly increased. 

Skunk2's two-piece forgings provide a precision-tight fit between the rod's cap and its beam without resorting to the brittle materials required by other processes. 

Alpha Series Rods also feature dual oil passages at their pin ends, providing additional lubrication and cooling, which leads to an even stronger, more durable rod. 

Unlike other designs, Skunk2's carefully positioned, offset oil passages help deliver lubrication around the entire wrist pin, during each phase of the engine cycle.

FEEL'S HONDA TWINCAM FRONT WIDE FENDER FRP FOR HONDA CIVIC FD2 TYPE R FEELS-00966

Product Overview

  • Compatibility: Fits the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) Honda Civic Type‑R FD2 sedan (2007–2010, K20A I4 engine)  .
  • Material: Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) with gel-coat finish (unpainted)  .
  • Width Increase: Adds approximately 20 mm per side (some sources say up to 25 mm), widening track for improved cornering and more aggressive stance  .
  • Fitment Requirement: Works with OEM or FEEL’S bumpers—with additional JDM front conversion often required. Also note that inner fender modifications are necessary and installation is not fully bolt-on—custom trimming and paint prep are needed  .
  • Regulatory Note: Since it alters vehicle width, some jurisdictions may require vehicle re-registration (e.g. with transport authorities) to reflect legal modifications 


Fitment Considerations

  1. JDM Conversion is often needed because under‑cut or trim areas differ for OEM vs home market bumpers (FD2R vs US Spec).
  2. Inner fender trimming: Requires cutting/access modification and painting; it’s not plug‑and‑play.
  3. Regulatory clearance if you widen your Civic FD2 beyond legal width limits—especially in Malaysia you may need to declare it to JPJ.
  4. Paint & Prep: Delivered in gel‑coat FRP, so you must have it professionally painted for aesthetic match and durability.
