I dislike them and see them a lot on the evo's happily for me they wear out quickly and we replace them with CP and then have no problems.

We always see the skirts disort and then the outer top ring of the piston rubs the bore and scrathes it.

I thought it was wiseco, but you could well be right, now as I think about it ?
Hopefully he'll see this thread and let us all know.
