Default Need 1988 set of 944 pistons

I am building a new motor to run with the Spec 944 racers and would like to get a set of the high compression pistons used in the 88 cars. Anyone have a set or know where I can but them new? They seem to be in short supply. I need factory pistons to remain legal so after market ones will not work.
Thanks,
Eric

You could take the picstons from my early Euro (are they even compatible???), but you'd be stuck with the rest of the car as well, and a big whole in your wallet!
Sorry - that wasn't helpful... unless you really really want Euro pistons.

The auction ended without a sale and the seller didn't specify the year, but you might get lucky:

Eric as you know Euro pistons are not legal. Honestly if you are at about 130-135 rwhp then you don't need the pistons.

What type of car you need the pistons for, 944 or 944S? I have a set of 944S pistons, not sure of compression though.

1988 U.S. spec 944 2.5ltr NA. The 88 model year has a slightly higher compression.
