Default RS Machine Pistons

Where do you buy them besides ebay? looking for 84.5mm size. I've tried calling rs machine and no one answered and from the searching i've done it sounds like they have bad customer service anyway. I just want to be able to buy them and know i'm getting the correct product and it wont take 3 months to get to me.

Also, are they the same as Race Axis pistons? only found one site that said they use the same mfg.

Any help is appreciated

I run forged pistons. I'm still trying to figure out if it was worth it though.

Thats why I dont want to pay the extra for forged. I cant seem to find out for sure if the race axis and rs machine are infact the same and where to purchase.

OP, If you buy from that "droopy" guy on ebay you will get the pistons pretty quick, I have bought from him before. I ordered from raceaxis and i never got the pistons or herd from him. He didnt respond to my emails so I ended buy from that ebay guy, and filed a paypal claim. took forever to get my money back

Yeah I called race axis and apparently they're out of town until the 23rd. The only other place ive seen them listed is a place called Mignight Auto out of NY. Anyone have experience with them? I'm just not sure I want to buy off ebay. I hate not being able to contact anyone with questions i have

I tried ordering pistons from race axis and after over a month of hearing every excuse as to why my pistons have not shipped i gave up and cancelled my order. That place is a joke dont buy from them.

Yeah when i called them i just got an answering machine. I spoke to Midnight Auto and they said it takes like 2 days for them to get the pistons from RS Machine and I spoke to the ebay store member Droopy that was mentioned in a couple of posts above and he said he has them on the shelf ready to ship. Has anyone else delt with him with good feedback? His ebay account is 100% so he's goota be pretty good i assume
