I was under the impression that Mahle ones from standard where forged? | |

£800 for pistons? Surely they can't cost that much seeing as it's about £90 for a full set for an XE :o | |

well hopefully ill be running around 280hp ish. Just wondered if it was worth while doing while the engine was apart in case i wanted more power at a later date | |

Well with the engine ive just bought, i want to replace at least the pistons when i rebuild it. Vauxhall want £800 for a set which tbh is day loght robbery. Im thinking of forged pistons (i have since found out that a LET had Mahle pistons as standard). So i want to know who else makes good forged pistons | |

Depends on what kind of standard your looking for. I think there is a guy on fleebay who sells them as well, I think he imports them from somewhere or other. They seem to be OK. | |

Where's the cheapest place to buy these for a C20LET. I know of the mvaux website, but im unsure of the quality of them because they seem to be "unbranded" pistons, can anyone vouch for the quality of these as they seem cheap compared to other pistons on th market? |
