JE or OEM rings for my srp pistons
I just got my pistons today and the parts guy forgot to order rings with it 
. What I was wondering is what are the differences in rings i'm going turbo so I want something that is going to hold up. Also if I did use the oem rings could I use the JE specs for ring gapping. Thanks.

I called hastings my self while I was having problems with some rings and they told
me they supply JE with their rings and several other piston companies. So i can
purchase them thru them...

hastings may make them but does that mean they are oem spec? nissin makes oem brake pads and aem has nissin make theirs, but they are obviously requested under a much better spec.

Aren't the JE rings slightly thinner than OEM rings? If so, then OEM definitely won't work. I would also think that JE rings, no matter who the manufacturer would be, are probably a better quality for turbo than OEM.

JE,wiseco,srp,cp all use the same sized rings 1.0mm top, 1.2mm second, 2.8mm third. and thats what honda uses also...the rings are all chrome faced rings

They must be of higher quality surely? Otherwise how can they hold up to all that elevated boost as the oem ones certainly can't.
