2 Qustions (suspension and motor)

1) When I installed my B16 into my Civic I decided to keep the stock D16 engine and transmission as a project motor.Of course since this isn't my actual engine anymore I don't want to spend a lot of money on it.I decided to build an all motor D seiessing stock honda parts (pictons, rods, vtec cylinder head).Now what I want to know is if there are any websites that show specs on stock honda pistons, connecting rod lengths, piston dome volume, etc... because I want to know if using certain rods with pistons will lower or raise my compression before buying the parts and finding out they lower it instead.Any website's?

2) I'm still undecided on a suspension system for my car.I was thinking about using Ground Control coilovers and Koni Yellow's.Any body running this set up or what are your opinions on it?

zc pistons bump compression and so does the vtec head etc etc....and it depends on what spring rates you get with your gc's if you want streetable or somethign really kidney breaking

I got the Koni Yellows and GC sleeves and am very happy with them, got them from Astroboy, great seller! I'm using 400lb front, 500lb rear rates (kinda autocross specific) you might want to down the rates a little I'd do 400 fr and 350 rr myself... Maybe 350 fr and 300 rr to be more streetable. Many guys run as high as 600/1000.
