first gen. motor rebuild

as some of u must know i have a set of bad rings on the #2 cylinder. well i'm getting ready to finally tear it down and rebuild it. i'm going to take the block to the machine shop and have it bored 30 over. and i'm going to get the new rings from mazda along with the new main and rod bearings. i'm going to buy the cam shafts from toda. but to finish my project i need a set of forged rods and forged 10:1 compression pistons and a set of really stiff valve springs. i have found everything for this motor besides that. and just so you know i have the bp 1.8l dohc with 126,000 miles on it. if any one knows where i can get these parts please share. thanks

thanks for your reply. they have the rods i'm looking for but they are alittle over priced. i found out that the 2001 bp motors used 10:1 compression pistons. so i'm going to get a set of those. i still can't find anything on performance valve springs. thats what i really need.
