LOOK!!!!! PISTON POLL!!!!
 
o.k., now that i have your attention, what kind of pistons are you guys using or have you used? how much did you pay for them and where did you get them? any good or bad words for them? i'm about to get some pistons, and i would just like to find the best part for the best price, i would hate to order some and find them somewhere cheaper the next day. the best i've found was about 390 for je's, 475 with rings, or i found some probe industries forged pistons (never heard of them), without rings for 76 bucks each, so a little over 300. i've been beating the subject to death, so i'll just be frank, what do you have, where did you get them, how much did you spend. thanks.

the ones that came with my JDM motor. :shrug: if you call the place in lynwwod and get the number where THEY got it from and then get the number for where it was made, i'm sure you could find out what pistons i have. and then, whe you're done making all those long distant calls, you can post it on here for me to read. and i will grateful thank you. :D

Re:LOOK!!!!! PISTON POLL!!!!

I got the best ------- deal ever! $590 for a set of je forged pistons not srp, 9.0.1 comp, set of eagle H beam rods, but the set was for b18, I have a b16a, 81.5mm,ebay. all I need is the right rods, so maybe you can buy your rods for b16, and we can trade rods.

sorry man, but i'm buying b18 rods that someone already has for 200, i'm not ordering them from a company. you should have asked the company that you got yours from if they would hook you up with the same deal just with b16 rods, i asked a company that had some je pistons on ebay, but they were the wrong size, he said he would sell me whatever size i neede for the same price.

ctr's are no better than reg b16 pistons as far as strenth, they just raise your cr, definitely overrated :P
