When you wanna take the pistons out to replace them, would you need to replace the connecting rod bolts or can I reuse them?
You can reuse them...
Why are you replacing the pistons???
,... they told me that it was all good and nothing was bad so from there it has to be my piston rings.
Wow umm....maybe not. Do you know by any chance which kind of aftermarket pistons nd rings I should get?Good Call,... are you brave enough to drill some extra drain holes in your new pistons ???

Oh ok and with Molnar, will I need to use Wiseco then?If you are going with a forged piston you will need new rods. Forged pistons us a floating wrist pin. You can go with CP pistons or Wiseco. CP is a much higher quality piston with features that are standard that Wiseco will charge you for. Rods, go with Molnar.

Well it's because I was burning oil and I thought it was from my cylinder head but once when I got it back from the machine shop, they told me that it was all good and nothing was bad so from there it has to be my piston rings.
You can use Wiseco or CP. Are you planning on boosting the motor?
Did the shop do a compression and or a leak down test ??
Did you have no leak but your were still burning oil ??
So how much does Mazda's design flaw owe you so far ???

If you aren't boosting it, there's no need to spend extra money on forged pistons and connecting rods.
