Piston rings, which are good rings for my app....?
I am building a block for my turbo gsr setup, I would like to get some suggestions on which rings to run in the block. I am running a boosted gsr with 9.5 : 1 comp. with eagle H beam rods, darton replacement sleeves (not their iron sleeves), itr cams, crower valvtrain. I will boosting 10-12 psi with AEM stand 
alone as the management. I talked to summit and they said to go with the Total Seal rings, but I have heard from some people that these rings tend to give out fast. 
Many people have told me that I should just use a stock set of gsr rings from honda. Just curious what other knowledgable peeps might think. Thanks.

I wouuld buy some JE Pistons and the rings to match...thats what i did 
for my LS build up. 9:1 CR with eagle H beams, all arp bolts, all new gaskets and seals and some other lil goodies, new bearings and such. So ya, new pistons with matching set of rings is my suggestion

I personally used CP's, but I'd give wiseco's a nod also.

Yeah, I got a good deal on some forged pistons, I dont know what brand they are but they are in perfect condition. I am gettin brand new eagle rods and bearings for the block as well as those darton replacement sleeves ( i got these brand new for next to nothin, so i might as well use em'), the block will also have all arp fastners. Thanks for the advice, i'll check out the JE and Wiseco rings.
