Pistons?

Yes

It's called The Head Shop. They don't have the best looking website so don't judge them by that. Lol...

Would any of you consider running these?

That advice about staying 82.5mm didn’t stick huh.

I'm still in the air lol
I feel like going 83mm would give me a fresh start. There's only 50km (32mi) on the car though.

No reason to bore an already thin walled cylinder if it’s not necessary

No, they don't appear to be notched for the oil squirters.

If you want JEs buy from Pagparts, the ones JE makes to their specs are good to go.

Downside of JEs is they expand more, so looser fit is required, but the upside is it's an extremely strong alloy.

I've heard that about JE's. Apparently they make one hell of a racket when cold. I didn't realize JE was making them to individual customer's specs. That's good to know. Thanks

poor advise IMO, piston to wall clearance is something that should be set, not something you are left with.

I opted for 83mm JE Ultra series, heading to the dyne December 23rd, will update you on how they fair.

Staying with 82.5mm pistons is not poor advise. You move up to 83mm only if you have to.

I had Carillo Rods and CP pistons in my s3 build. They handled power well till the car caught fire...

Wow that sucks but it sounds like you're happy with the outcome.

Fire is one of the things that scares me the most. Lol
