LS2 Ring Lands

It's probably a set for an LQ9. They have a 1.5,1.5,& 3mm ring package where the the LS2 has 1.2,1.5,& 3mm.

Hey, I'm looking for piston rings for LS2 pistons too - I am measuring 1.2/1.5/2.5 for the ring pack and checking on the GM performance parts site, thats whats listed for a LS2. Ain't cheap from GM @ 28.00 I think a piston????? Odd ball ring thickness sizes!!!
I'm going to keep looking for some aftermarket, if anyone makes any???

They are going to cost you about $20/ring set minimum from a mahle dealer. Wiseco also makes those ring packs and they are $28 too.
