As above for best prices Real Street Performance or here Advance automotives
Cosworth pistons,rods i would suggest too Cosworth,but they're pricey,Manley H beam rods should be enough for 500bhp and above.Just beware the Eagle ESP H-Beam rods,they're not the best for 500bhp

I know, wish i'd never started to be honest. Finally got it back tues after 2 months of it being off the road for a general engine cleanup and few mods, ie heads, injectors, turbo etc. Just for it to blow the bottom end the next day! Didnt boost it once, warmed it up properly etc as i always do. There was a tapping sound which we thought may be a noisy lifter at first, dumped the oil and seems the bottom end has gone 
Getting really fed up of it all now, owned it 2 years and driven it for 1

Bloody hell I didn't realise that! I knew JB was building it back up again but I didn't know he'd finished it. Any idea what caused it? Personally I'd either do a big build (if the budget allows) or throw a version 7 or 8 sti short motor in there.

Supertech pistons get my vote. VERY quiet for forged pistons!
If you give David at APi a call he can sort you out with them and some of his steel rods too!
They certainly work in my SC46 2.5 conversion!
