Default pistons

you can buy forged pistons for 350-400 from flatlander-ipp.com including rins, clips and pins
then the fitting prices vary place to place mate

Depends if there is any damage to the bore also, that could make it a little more expensive

If det caused the problem (JDM import?) then it could cause more issues later (stress down the crank) so if your lucky it may just be a piston, as i have already said it could cause damage to the bore, it can lead to big end bearing failure but most of all, why did the piston fail in the first place?
