CP pistons are a product of CP-Carillo, which is an established supplier since 1963. Their pistons and rods are produced in their plant in Irvine, CA using US made materials. Summit Racing carries them and their online catalog may provide details of particular pistons.

Considering their rods are around $1000 and up, I would say their pretty good quality. I have heard many good things about them. I have ran CP pistons in my yfz450 and have nothing to say but good things about them.

I'd be more concerned about the rods. Eagle's so called "4340" is from China and is only machined here. Or it was 4 or 5 years ago. It may be 100% now. China's metallurgic standards are often less than ours. Hence the price tag. This goes for most of SCAT's products as well.
