Default speedpro pistons w/ floating wrist pins?

I'm looking for some speedpros for an lq4. Since I have the gen iv rods I need pistons with floating wrist pins. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/slp-h1129cpa75mm these are the ones at summit but I'm unsure whether they use press fit or floating? Anyone have any experience with these? Or suggestions on another "quality" brand that's not gonna murder my wallet?

I know Summit carries the piston to use with the floating rods, just make sure the piston uses a .943 pin. The Speed Pro piston with the .945 pin is a press fit.

I was planning on picking up some ls2 or lq9 flat tops but found out I need to bore a little. So I'm just gonna bore it .30 over.
