However, in early '03 I did also call SSF about the 9.5 piston sets and yet again another distributor didn't know what the heck I was talking about... It seemed that Andial was the only player for those sets at the time.... and maybe still are.

Chuck,
Like most places, it all seems to boil down on who you get on the other end of the line. SSF is a bigger player in the BMW replacement parts market then they are in Porsche.
SSF hired Dave Truax about 12-18 months ago to help with their Porsche parts sales. Dave was parts manager at Andial for over 10 years and thus knows the Mahle products inside and out. I would recommend contacting him over there if you ever need something and don't want to deal with Andial.
One good thing about Andial is that they WILL split up the sets (IF THEY HAVE SUFFICIENT STOCK) if you need a replacement piston or cylinder whereas SSF won't.
No affiliation with either company, just have friends at both.
