Default cheapest place to buy standard piston rings for s2 rst?

As per title anyone?

Also how much roughly is it to have your pistons skimmed 1mm?

Thanks, Joe.

I bought mine from ebay but make sure they are genuine Mahle.
Skim is around Ł40 from my local engineers, why do they need skimming mate?

Just look for Mahle RST rings mate..
Unelss you want well over 300bhp you do not need to skim your pistons.

As above, seems to be a trend at the moment lol

I bought these, and im happy with them http://www.burtonpower.com/parts-by-...33716-std.html

Not the cheapest, but according to a few engine builders i spoke to meant to be some of the best.

Rob,
