Default Type S Pistons Help!!!!

Does anyone know were I can buy some Type S pistons that actually has them in stock? I've tried a bunch of different places including jdmhondaparts.com. I even paid in full for the pistonns and rings at a local store and a month later they still could not find any and ended up refunding my money. So if anyone could please help me out I would really appreciate it. It seems like alot of places aren't able to get any because of the shipping problems in the west coast docks.
Thanks!!!!!

Because he can't, unless he want to resleeved his engine. Forged pistons would eat his nikasil cylinder liners. He needs cast pistons, like factory Type S pistons.

Yes I want to raise compression without having to resleeve the block
(too much $$$), so type s pistons is the only option. I've emailed all the sites you guys posted, hopefully they'll have them in stock.

I really appreciate the help!!!!

He has a set he ordered of me, but I had to cancel. He was asking 235 if I'm not mistaken. I need the standard bore.. and not the oversized. Anyone know the part # for the STD bore? Been lloking and asking for almost a month!

I finally ordered the pistons today from what seems to be the only place in the USA that has the pistons in stock. I paid like $450 shipped with rings from
import-store.com. I know that price sucks but they know they are about the only people that have the pistons actually in stock so they can basically charge whatever they want.
I tried every single site you guys posted and then some, from jdmhondaparts.com to inlinefour.com and they all said the same thing, that they can't get them till around December. Oh well.
Oh for the guy that wanted the part # when my pistons come in and the part # is on the box or some thing I'll post it up for you.

Thanks for the help!!!

They only had stock A size in stock. I wanted to get .25 over size just in case all my cylinders aren't A size but I didnt have much of a choice.

The only place I talked that had the pistons in stock is import-store.com. They only have standard bore size A pistons in stock. They do not have oversize or B size pistons. I ordered 4 standard bore size A pistons from them. They should get to me next week.
Hope that helps.
