yes, d16 pistons of any sort should work fine.

however...keep in mind that jeff used my z6 arias 9:1 pistons in his ZC and scored a fat 7.8:1 compression ratio. can you say poopy bottom end?

tunertoys rods and the pistons are kind of a toss up i dont think anyone makes a piston specifically for the zc.

well i know the rods just say d-series but when i click on the piston link the page is blank (so i dont think they sell pistons yet)

you could maybe use like a 10.5-1 from a d16a6 to drop the compression in a zc. but you may have to worry about the piston to valve clearance.

hey i found a set of Je/srp pistons they are 10.5:1 comp. ratio and .020 over stock bore. for a good price...with the overbore how big will my cylinders be?? (1.6, 1.7,1.8??) and how can i correct the clearence issue??
