I'm not sure about the best. They are higher compression cast pistons that work with the FRM sleeve, that's the better part.

They are an OEM higher compression cast piston, ie. Type-S motors are 11:1 compression. Cast pistons are not going to be as strong as a forged aftermarket piston like the Mahle.

They are higher compression than the stock pistons, but they are still cast. What are your goals for your build?

Fiber Reinforce Metal which are liners that comes in all H-Series engines; Porsche has them as well.

Is this why people are skeptical about forged pistons?? Because it has a reaction to the liner??

Yes. Not just skeptical but knowing that it won't work at all and it'll do good damages to the FRM liners. Mahle made theirs, so that it doesn't expand like Forge Pistons which are FRM friendly.
