it's to lower CR... there is a huge discussion on it on h-t forced induction forums. IMO, just buy the ****ing forged slugs.
supposed compression with the dished pistons (-12.5cc dish) in a D16Y8 is 8.5, however the piston is said to have the pin location diff't so the piston sits at 1.7 mm short of the deck at TDC... so some have calculated compression as low as 7.8 or something.
I dunno... I'm just gonna get REAL pistons with 9.0 compression. The Vitara pistons look like complete *** anyways.

check out the d series honda boards
couples guys have very cheap $$ built D series engines using vitara pistons
one guy was supposed to be running around 15-20 psi with them and no problems
