JE pistons have a very good reputation. I may be wrong but I think Barbz used these if CP weren't available.

Thanks.... I'll prob end up going for these then after these positive comments!
Was wondering wether to up the compression ratio a little?
What would be the benefits of this.... Better repsonse low down? Was thinking of gettin 8.5:1!

8.5:1 will be fine. You have only gone up half a point. Generally it will feel slightly better off boost, but that's about it.
