I believe they're like 285grams each, don't quote me on that. They are *very* light though, I was pretty amazed.

Damn that is real light. I'm trying to remember what 6-bolt .020 over Mahle's for DSM's weigh, and I thought they were something like 290grams, and are the lightest off-the-shelf pistons for them as far as I know.

Sounds like a sweet piston

Fukin right! I put 80k on my 4G63 at 400+whp at db and it was in great shape. As much as this whole situation saddens me, FUCK IT! I want this thing running and it will continue to get abused.

My bad, this says 340 grams/piston. I will find out for sure; gonna try and get weight on the stock pistons/rods vs the new pistons/rods for an overall weight difference including the rings, wrist pins and everything.

*edit* with info from the actual p/n's that were ordered.
