In the import world they pop up often, even in street cars, but I don't see anything offered or even really mentioned for us?
I just got a set for my 2.0L Talon (156mm length at $900) since it's gonna be a stroker engine, less load on the crank at high rpm, better rod ratio vs stock length on crank and they're strong as hell (long term fatigue being the one downside).
I asked the shop what it would take to make a set for the 109 and it was pretty much cash and this...
"I would suggest changing the pin bore to something more "standard" such as a .927 or .990. The big end is also an odd size so it'll cost money there to make fixture changes."
It sounded like $1400 for 6 aluminum rods.
