Are you going to boost the motor, or stay all-motor (naturally aspirated)?

What are you going to do with the rods, buy a ctr crank and destroke your gsr motor? Or put the ctr pistons in a b16a? All you need is the pistons if you are using them for a b16a.

That is a lot of money.

My friend just got CTR cams, valve springs and retainers for $500

You can get CTR pistons for like $300-400...

do the math

sorry i forgot to mention. im staying all motor.
i guess it'll be cheaper for me to get the pistons, valves, and vavle springs only and have the rods milled 1mm on each side.
or my other option is just get JE pistons. im gonna stay all motor so what copression ratio do you guys recommend for a daily driver?
yeah, i did think its a bit too much at first but i just wanted to make sure.
thnx guys.

If you are referring to CTR rods, you can't use them in any other B-series motor than the CTR, unless you destroke the motor.
