Default ls pistons in b16 motor?

I just broke my ring lands again in my stock b16 motor. I have some ls pistons just laying around and i think im going to slap them in and lower the compression some. Just wondering if any body else has this setup. Pros and cons.

Setup- 93 hatch
stock b16a2
garrett t04e
smc plus

I have LS pistons in my B16a. Yes, the valve releifs are too small. They can be enlarged, but it all depends on whether you feel like going through the trouble.
