Question Need help: pistons or piston rings for 996TT engine rebuild

hi!
we are currently upgrading my engine with stronger rods and decided to change the pistons as well. searched and there seems to be a very limited choice of pistons.
would be happy if recommended what and where:
  • forged pistons
  • high quality piston rings sets for stock pistons
thank you!

Unless you are changing compression ratio or displacement you will not gain anything rith aftermarket pistons. Porsche did a good job with the stock pistons.
