i had not really heard about them up until a few days ago. might have spotted the name somewhere...
they even have the thick wall 92mm

but if DRD sells them, they can't be that bad  ::)
however for some reason they offer to hone the barrels to specs, i suppose it's precaution.

does anyone have experience with this kekonaiii seller?

I run AA p&c on the 2007cc I run on my T3,they work very well.I also have a 94 "true forged" kit wich is very beautifull,all the piston weight within 1 gram,the cylinder are exopy coated.Both kit come with true arc piston axle clip.
We also used them on T4 engine with good result!!
It's one of the first time we can see a good product at an aforable price!!

Early AA barrels were problematic.

I am using AA pistons and barrels in my new engine.  I had the first set in the UK, and now Stateside tuning import them with strict quality controls.

I understand that there are two qualities of AA pistons the official ones and the ones that get rejected but get onto the market via the backdoor.  Make sure you get offical AA pistons they have better quality control.

The only problem with them, they are not offset wristpins.
