Matching pistons and connecting rods

Does anyone know, or can a vendor verify, if the Mahle Motorsport pistons are compatible with the ZRP connecting rods?

The folks in the UK have had nothing but good things to say about the ZRP rods, and ZRP now makes a billet crankshaft by the way. It's a proven connecting rod and the price is pretty much unbeatable. 1320 Mini in the UK uses ZRP rods all the time. I'd reach out to them if you'd rather hear a direct opinion on them from people who have used the rods in many engine builds.

Ive read the same about them. I am also talking to super-tech atm. I was originally going to use the stock ones but I think I will replace them since the entire engine is being rebuilt for the most part. I will also reach out to ZRP. Thanks for the tip!
