Anybody have any experience with their pistons?

Unless I missed it, that thread included no actual experience regarding the usage of QSC brand pistons. (But, rather, the OP was willing to try a set of cheap pistons in an otherwise costly engine rebuild.)

 

This thread popped up on a search.

Im curious too, I guess a lot of VW and some Porsche guys have been using them for years. I saw this video on youtube about a guy that was gonna try them and document. I emailed him but he never replied. Please keep me updated if some Actually tries them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhLEmMqQwfs&t=45s

I should have searched, but slim pickings. I'd be curious to hear from someone who used them.

I bought a set and i havent tried them yet, which makes my post useless i know. I just stopped by here to tell that my pistons look good and doesnt have those little casting issues. Someone said this in the other thread.

I'd be interested in hearing your reaction.

No updates on the quality of these pistons? No one tried them yet?

I guess there are a few guys running around with them but are waiting to see what they are like at 200,000 miles.

I built an engine with JE pistons and they work great...

I seem to recall some comments about production variances. I ended up recycling my old O/S oem ones. But any updates from QSC buyers?

I guess if no one is complaining about them on here it seems they're fine. I see lots have been sold on eBay that were specific to BMW 02s and I doubt everyone is just keeping them around as shiny paperweights. I'd obviously prefer to go forged and with something I'm sure is of high build quality but when you're restoring a car saving $600 in one line item is substantial any way you look at it.
