Default Nippon Pistons?

Anyone ever heard of these? Nippon Racing Ltd.? Found a decent price on some pistons, wondering if anyone knew anything about them or they're quality?

They sell floating-pin pistons for $170 shipped

I'm thinking about picking up a set for my budget build. Check out my thread on them:

ok well all i am wanting to do is 200-250WHP with good torque and i want it to be super reliable and not have **** breaking. I plan on spending a good $700-900 on my tuning and fuel management. I just dont want something cheap thats going to break. I want to be able to get into it and feel safe. if that makes any sense

I might be going for 300-330whp on these pistons.
