Yes you will be fine with some eagle rods and wiseco pistons, they are a pretty solid setup especially for 35r numbers.

I always thought H beams were stronger than I's but were heavier and had increased rotational mass due to them being heavier and vice versa, the I beam rods not being as strong but having a lighter rotational assembly.

Im not a fan of the eagle rods. I used crower rods on my first build and Manley turbo tough rods for my current build. I like the Manleys better and am running the wiseco pistons. good combo.

I have the Manley Pro I beam rods and Wiseco pistons in my Evo.

The Eagles should be fine with that RNR kit but might as well go with something a little beefier/ stronger should you decide to go for more power later on. Good luck.

With a 35R I would personally go with something on the stronger side, just as a safety net if youre going to turn up the boost. Manley Turbo Tuff are good choice.

Manley I Beam Turbo Tuffs and Manley Pistons. Or Manley rods and either of these company's like CP, Ross, JE all used by any of the performance shops like BR, AMS.

Thats my just my .02. But I like the I beam Series rods and the fact there a reputable American company.
