I'm going to be building a 6 bolt engine for my 95 Tsi AWD but I don't know what to look for in pistons and rods. I have looked a little bit into pistons and rods from SBR and I found a set of pistons by the brand name of Mahle. I also thought that H-beam con rods were stronger than I-beam con rods, but over there they make that sound incorect.

Has anyone used Mahle pistons, and what are the better $300-$500 set of rods?
