If you are rebuilding you might aswell go forged rather than do like for like and have another conrod or piston fail some time later and have to do another rebuild.

New age factory STI con rods are a good cost efficient up grade.
Suburu cranks do not respond well to grinding and over size bearings, replace the crank if its damaged.
