R90s pistons source

Hello all, well after 130k miles, I'm due for new pistons in the old girl. New rings aren't stopping the excessive oil consumption so was wondering if I can still obtain new R90s pistons, say 1st over? (the cylinders are slightly out of spec so I should have known this before reassembling :(

I heard that dealer's are a bit on the high side so queried around and found a company called K&S that makes exact replacements. But don't know how to contact or if they have retailers.

Would appreciate your advice please.

thanks,

RickR90s

Avaialble in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd over and much cheaper and probably better than stock.

+1. They ship pretty fast too. Cheaper, lighter, stronger, better.
