Default VW/ AUDI AEB 1.8T motor, supplier for parts?

Long story, but basically i owe someone a set of steel rods and 82mm forged pistons for an audi a4 1.8t motor, anyone got a decent priced supplier for them?

Stateside or over here, not too botheed, but i do need them relatively quickly (EIP Tuning who i was going to be using can get some particuarly nice ones but its a six week delay )

Thanks in advance lads.

I have a feeling their price might involve me bending over, but ill give them a go i guess!

Was kind of hoping more for someone who normally supplies the trade or cheap mail order though rather than someone charging full retail.

Just had a quick look on their site, they list JE pistons as "from £675", worse still i think that may be plus vat!!! PMSL

I normally pay 450 all in for a set of JE forged pistons, but the supplier i use doesnt seem to be able to source the VAG ones for some reason.

Thanks for the tip, but they are just far too expensive, even if they knocked a bit off they would still be too dear.
Im sure to a lot of punters its well worth the money in exchange for the support they give as ive heard nothing bad about them ever, but in my case i just want a cheap supplier who will give me the parts and tell me to get stuffed and not ever want to hear from me again.
