Default S2000 pistons, is there a market for them?

Hey guys, I just wanted to know what kind of products are the S2000 guys looking for? Pistons, rods, bolt-ons? I have a friend out of country who is looking into supplying his people with S2000 stuff and he wanted to see what parts have been popular. I am able to supply him pistons like in this link :

but he wanted to know about the other products. Let me know your input, either from S2000 owner or shop retailer for S2000 parts. Thanks guys

Most are looking for bolt-ons, although there may be a market for forged internals as well. You have to realize that a majority of owners are 25+ and bought from a dealership with warrantys, most people aren't looking to tear their blocks apart. Then again, there are an equal amount of people bolting on superchargers, and turbokits are also becoming more popular. Quality forged internals ie: pistons and rods have a place...small as of now, but they have a place.

I personally get a lot of inquiries for bolt-on's, in fact now that I think about it I don't think I've ever had a customer ask me for forged internals for an S2000 . Up front I think a good bang-for-the-buck exhaust manifold upgrade is long overdue, many claim that Megan is accomplishing this, but as far as I'm concerned Megan is still a "No-Name" company. I'd like to see an affordable exhaust manifold (Sub $700 Retail) that provides bolt-on gains.

PM me if anything happens, if you're looking for dealers that is

There are quite a few high CR sets out there. I'd like to see a set of dished pistons for boost.

I dont know about you guys but you can just have them made. I have had 3 or 4 set made for me. Alot of the S2K people think a I,H,E is the best thing on earth. I dont understand it, you pay $2-3k for IHE and you get 30hp??? Save up some $ and get a S/C or turbo. I need piston and rods. I use 1-2 sets of pistons a year

Thanks guys, I have been psssing this info on to my customer. Just so you all know, I can get F20C pistons for you.

But, as for that, give me some specs that you all might want to see on pistons?
Rods, Cam Specs, etc. Thanks to all so far for the info
