Mahle pistons

Opinions? Quality?

I did search and found good results...just thought I would get more thoughts. I know there were some recent GP's. How are you guys liking these pistons? This would be for a stroker

i saw inspector's before they were put in, and they looked like quality pieces. for a forged piston with a polydyne coating you cant beat the price

Jordan is right about the fact that they come coated, but it is with there own proprietary coating and it seems to be very nice. The pistons are very close tolerances and the rings are very good. I bought the power pack it came with pistons, Rings, and pins. For a very reasonable amount I don't know exactly how much for piston package by itself because I got them off of Ebay with a Set of Hawk H-beam rods for $745 shipped to my door.

Have them in my motor and they are top quality. Every piston in the kit was the exact same tolerance. The guy at the machine shop I used says that He doesn't use any other pistons than mahle for high performace applications.
