Wanted to know if the det rods would fit with the et crank I've seen this question b4 but noone ever gives a straight answer. So if you know the answer a simple yes or no will suffice

Next question: where to get them and how much? Do you reuse the ET pistons or get DET pistons also?

wiesco tends to be the cheaper of the piston companies.. some say they are crappier but ive yet to have seen one fail in all the cars that have used wiescos

Iggy hasn't posted anywhere in here lol. And I ve heard they are pretty good piston's and have never heard a complaint from anyone about them so i said fuck it I'll use them too.

yer right, I just saw your pic with you and Iggy's rides and got mixed up again. He PM'ed me about some DET rods, Anyways, he musta fixed his inbox. So if I use DET rods in my ET they will work with the OEM pistons and wrist pins? Would I get the ET bearings or do I need different ones?
