B18C1 Pistons for Boosting

Strange World

B18C1 EG
I'm looking for some good, lower compression pistons to use for boosting. I've got Spoon pistons right now which are putting my compression at ~11.5:1, so I wouldn't be able to boost my Civic as is.

So far I've been looking at JE SRP Pistons, but I'm not sure what compression ratio I would need. If anyone has suggestions I'd appreciate it, or other brands to look into.

Updated my post. I'm looking at JE SRP pistons now, but I'm not sure what C:R to get, or if there'd ba better brand for me to buy.

spoon doesn't make pistons...

for safe boost get something around 9.5:1, but then the key is in the tune and goals + compressor size + supporting mods + use of the car (daily or track) + amount you want to spend.... do some more research.

I just got some weisco pistons and shot-peened the stock rods for a mild build.
