Run away far away from that company. As a Mustang owner since 1992 their quality especially lately leaves much to be desired. J and E I have had good luck with it.

Wiseco. For the price, it's hard to beat them. They come with the rings and are under $700 for the set of the shelf pistons.

Diamond is also an excellent company and does a lot of custom pistons for a reasonable price.

Racetec also seems to be good. Former JE guy operates it and they seem to be good quality too.

Manley also makes a good piston, but the cost is generally higher.

+1 for Wiseco's, can't beat them for the price. And to add to the Racetec story, it was started by the same guy who started JE pistons, he sold the company and then got back into the piston game a few years later.
