No way these are way better than stock ones!

THESE PISTONS CAN HOLD UP TO 300 HP IN A PROPERLEY TUNED ENGINE DUE TO THE RECENT IMPROVEMENTS IN METALURAGY

haha metaluragy

Well ---- me running. Everything I ever read on them said they were forged, but after spending the past 30 minutes searching for the truth, the only Suzuki to use factory forged pistons is the bikes, not the cars. Looks like my Z6 build up will cost me a bit more than I thought.
