18RG pistons - alternatives, dealers??

I need some oversize pistons for an 18RGU. Does anyone know of anywhere that sells these, or any pistons from other engines that may be oble to be used? I've looked through the ACL catalogue already without much luck.
I would assume that using 18R pistons (flat top) would lower the compression? I've heard rumors of 22RE pistons being used. Does anyone know anything about this in regards to required machining work, etc?
Any help would be appreciated.

What compression are you looking for? If you want stock compression, you'll have to wait a while for some to pop up, or get them custom made. If you have a browse in the for sale section, you'll find some 18RG (9.7:1) OEM items. If this is what you want, act quick, 'cos they're rare. The 18RC and 22RE options are not good.
Alternatively, if you are building a NA beast, toysport in the US sells hi-comp pistons (custom made by Venolia pistons).
