    Yeah true... but I dunno about their service. They were supposed to have the 159mm Scat rods with 21mm pins a few months ago and I've never heard back from them nor has anyone else who ordered these (though, in fairness, we haven't yet paid).

    I think the 144mm ones are there, though, in which case they're damn good value as they come with ARP rod bolts aswell

    There's also a seller for the German Woessner Pistons hovering around and you can get the pistons from him for about 500Euro all in. Most of their off the shelf ones are 13:1 or 8:1, though... turbo low, or race car high!! Do custom make, but don't know the price.
