My machine shop spoke highly of Mahle for their precision parts. What's the going thing price and quality wise for rods and pistons? This will be first time hone and stock stroke. Hopefully a couple of vendors will chime in, thanks.

Mahle Pro Series are usually the most dimensionally accurate pistons. However, Wiseco, Diamond, JE, CP, Racetech, Ross, and Mahle all are quality piston companies...Each will have pro's/con's. If you want the best/most expensive, get CP..Racetech is like a mix between JE and CP. Diamond's are good, but usually on the heavy side...Ross are good and a little cheaper than the other companies. It boils down to who has a shelf piston available for your setup. If noone has a "shelf" piston that meets your requirements, a custom is in order..That's a whole other issue lol
