It really depends on your intentions for the car...

If you're going to go that far, you might as well get pistons too and bump the compression up to take advantage of a the hotter cam. Although in all honesty from what I've read for a streetable N/A build rods aren't really necessary. The d16 rods can handle 230ish whp and you are NEVER going to get anywhere close to that on a streetable N/A build on a D. Maybe not even on a race build although I've learned never underestimate human ingenuity.
