Default help on bottom end re-build

right im between a rock and a hard place now,

i have 2 pistons cracked out of the 4, part of me says, replace the 2 broken ones, the other part says replace all.

now there low comp pistons, so if i replace all 4, do i for low comp again, or just go forstandard comp pistons??

whats the advantage of the low comp pistons??

some prefer low comp, some dont...

IIRC going low comp will make it first come on boost higher in the rev range.

replace all 4 though IMO
