If you think piston construction doesn't have anything to do with these failures, you should do some more research as to what a ringland is.
Every STI I've seen that has run into ringland issues has had all the telltale signs of detonation prior to issues, with an owner too hard-headed to fix the root cause.

a quick google search will show the severity of the issue, it happens with modified cars(which is understandable if the car isnt modded correctly), cars with exhausts, and stock cars(i have read a few stories as well) and its most common with WRX and the STi
