Default High Compression Pistons for B16a

I'd like to install high compression pistons in my block but don't want to hone it for clearance. When I installed the current JE SRP's 10.5:1, they were drop-ins. Everywhere else I look requires honing 5 over and the SRP's don't come any higher than 10.5:1.

Does someone know of another brand? I'd like to go max 12:1

Thanks!

Sorry to hijack the thread, but can CTR pistons fit right onto the stock b16a connecting rods?

Either the piston or the rods need to be shaved 1mm I believe to accomodate this combo.
