Default Best Pistons

What pistons do you guys think are the best? Or the best bang for the buck?

My personal preference leans toward Wiseco if you're in need of forged pistons. For many apps stock Honda pistons may be a better fit however. What do you want them for?

If it's to lower compression, then I'll assume it's for boost, in which case you're going to want forged pistons. Here I'd recommend Wiseco or JE. Wisecos are generally a little cheaper.

Never used a wiseco in a car yet but i have ran them alot in motorcycles and they work great and lasted long. Also i know je does make really great pistons too. I would just pick which ever company has one that fits your needs most.

How about SRP? They are made my JE too. Has anyone used them? Or are they all pretty much the same?
