Default Anyone used total seal piston rings?

As title need new rings for some pistons and wondered if anybody had used these total seal piston rings. They will be going into a cosworth engine. Just wondered what the pro and cons of them are and who actually sells them. Any info appreciated.
Regards Steve

maybe a question you might ask yourself is what is wrong with the standard rings?
