They dont, but for a turbo car a shorter rod is probably better than a longer rod, and it honestly doesn't make "that" much difference.
You could get the short ch pistons and mill the domes off. that would get you around 10.5:1

Do you know the low compression height piston actual CH?
Milling the dome off is an option and could work, but I'm worried about the strength of the flat top, is there enough material thickness left?
P/N of that piston, can't find it...
Thanks for your help
Cheers

I have checked into this.. it was about a 1/2 consideration during design.
the dome can be milled flat and have plenty of room, with a 99mm k24 crank it would make for about 12:1 compression assuming you adjusted hg thickness to provide stock piston-head clearance.

my motor should be done in a weeks time ill let u guys know how it goes
were doing the 9.5 87.25 pistons with carrillo rods on my track car will see how it goes i have alot of faith in it. the shop that does the machine work does alot of road race cars and when he look at the pistons he said the are nice pistons.

We received a new batch of the Mahle pistons for the S2000. Here are photos of the actual S2000 design (below).
I also was asked by a customer about weights. A bare Honda piston that we had in stock is 356.4 grams while the Mahle piston of the same diameter is 303.6 g. This is not only from reduction in dome volume for decreased compression, but also from internal pocketing placed in the forging for weight reduction.
