Default b16a pistons or b18c5 pistons which is better?

I'm just curious which one will be better when putting in the LS motor?

they are close, but i would choose b18c5 simply because of the ceramic coating that they have to reduce friction. but if your on a budget, the b16 pistons will work just as well.

The b16a pistons have a slightly larger dome than B18c5 (US ITR) pistons. But the ITR pistons have a moly coating on the skirt to reduce friction. You can always get the B16a pistons coated as well. SWAIN does this I believe.
