I can tell you they are not the same as the standard RA pistons that i have that came from CDB RA, they look like snazy forged items maybe CP or mhale, they are not wisco either.

I'd be more concerned about what rods they are attached to as that will give you a better idea of the quality, but looking at them i'd say they have some decent rods bolted to them as well.

If it was me i'd stick some heads on and drop it in and run it till it pops, should be good for 450bhp all day long.

They look like very early Legacy cast pistons to me from the crown and compression height -they make very good doorstops/bookends
