I got my Probe pistons from Flatlander. Strong pistons at a decent price.

I have used Wiseco in the past, but the next engine I do will have Mahle pistons.

I used Federal Mogul "Speed Pro" Forged pistons. They are very similar to the Ford forged ones and are reasonably prised. I got mine from Summit.

We always use wiseco pistons at work (atv's dirtbikes etc.) and they are always flawless, never had a problem. dunno if its the same with auto pistons but from what i've heard they are (sprint/metro guys use them when overboring)
