I lean towards the diamond pro selects. Thunder usually has them for around 180/set. I had some problems after I broke one second ring and Diamond went way out of their way to send me a new one at no charge. Awsome service. Those rings seem to work well with the stock piston high compression buildups that I've done.

thanks guys. do those rings require grinding for proper clearance, or are they just drop in types?
