hey bro, i have a question. How do you like the 8:8 compression? i am planning on getting pistons soon, and was wondering to go with CP Pistons that have 8:5 or Wiseco with 8:8. How do you like the 8:8? i wouldnt get cosworth seemings how they dont have the piston ring sizes, but what would you say about this? is the 8:8 worth it?

i've never heard of a 95.75mm size. What would that be, .010 over or something? That's an odd overbore.

As far as i know nissan doesn't offer a .010 overbore.

ya, with that odd size i would see if a machinist would be able to source them. They might have better connections and ability to find them.

how you like the Endless Brakes? I have some on my Sti and they're the shizzle. You outta look into getting bag suspension. I'm tired of low-ridin and scrapin. I think they might even work with coil overs.. not sure.
