Default When buying after market rods

If you buy after market rods (Eagle H beam), is it possible to keep the stock piston pins that come out of your Honda motor?
Or do you have to get new ones, which I believe you can only get with a new set of pistons.

I'm in the market for some rods to go in my A6/Y8 combo, but I'm torn between buying just rods (save's me money) or buying a piston/rod kit, thanks guy's.

you might as well get the pistons with the rods since you'll just blow your ring lands if you even start testing the rods.
