I copied this from my post in the thread Anyone know of a good place to get a Rebuild kit. Since you want to keep the stock compression ratio there is no reason for you to get forged pistons.

"Go to http://www.importperformanceparts.net/, Import Performance Parts is a division of Flatlander Racing. A friend told me about them before, I personally think that they're the shiznit.

Click on the Toyota name, then on the next page click on Engine Kits, then click on their TopLine Engine Kits. They have kits for the 5M-GE and the 7M-GE. They are also inexpensive too, their basic kit is just the bearings, bolts, rings, and gaskets. Their Major Engine Kit comes with "contains complete gasket set, set of pistons and rings, main bearings, rod bearings, thrust washers, timing belt, balance shaft bearings (if applicable), and a set of expansion plugs (does not contain camshaft, timing kit or oil pump). Pistons & Rings: Std., .020, .040. Bearings: Std., 10, 20, 30." Their Gold kit includes all of that and an oil pump and costs $489."[/i]

manufacture as in mass produce, or manufacture as in one-off?
Exactly why I would want hypereututic aluminum alloy, high compression tight clearance pistons coupled with a nice set of forged h-beam rods for my project.
