If you need an alternate ring for the stock pistons, TOP LINE brand is on par with, if not better than OEM. I've used them on numerous engines with continuous thumbs-up results.

I got some Sealed Power (I believe) rings from Advance, and they worked fine. My car always had great compression. If I remember correctly they were something like $98. Had a chrome top ring too.
