Anybody here happen to have a set of new piston rings for an LS1?

What place can send them quickly? The only place the mechanic could get any at the moment is some place in Holland at 65€ per piston ... :wtf:

Just out of curiosity I gave our local Opel dealer a call ... delivery time 3-4 weeks, price €89 ... per piston ...
They're totally nuts ... (I didn't really expect any different, already ordered from the States last night ...)

You may want to check http://www.partszoneonline.com. I've had very good luck with parts from Bill.
