You are getting, or interpreting the information wrong.

CTR piston is not "too much compression" it's the high dome that causes or leads to premature detonation.

Think of it this way... If you have a flame, and then put a wall in front of that flame, it limits where that flame can go, if that makes any sense. Also, CTR pistons are the heaviest of all the B-series pistons out there.

The P30 is a better option for most out there.

Almost any "JDM" site. Also make sure to get pistons and OEM rings.
