I have been hearing different opinions and pricing from various suppliers for Nickies and JE pistons on the proper ring packs to use for my turbo rebuild.

I am looking to upgrade to 98mm Nickies and JE pistons and wanted to see if there was a best ring pack to use other than the standard Goetze set up that is most common.

I am tracking the car at DE days about 50% and street driving the other 50% so I want a ring package that is going to be more tolerant of hard running and possibly being exposed to detonation more so than a daily driver. In other words, I want some additional margin of safety.

Can anyone tell me my options on another supplier and give some specifics. I have been told the Goetzes are pretty brittle, and I want to see others opinions that have been down this route.
I need to balance the additional costs as well against the standard ring packs before I make my decision to buy. One vendor is calling for a $600 increase for the "optional ring pack" he utilizes.

Thanks,
Fred
