I got lucky and fell on the K1 rods from a liquidator on ebay. They had two sets, I bought one for like 140 bucks or something. I think they must have bought the old stock from K1. They offered the other set to me for like 120 bucks...I'm an idiot and didn't take it but at the time I didn't really know these would work. Now they are in my motor and the parts turned out looking beautiful with no variation whatsoever. The only issue I had some concerns over was they were a bit narrow. They were like 0.015" narrower than stock ones.
Here is the seller info from the auction if anyone wants to check and see if they have anymore.
