I'd do a little sanity check on this if I were you. I believe these pistons were also used in old Audi 1.9 engines (same stroke as 1.8) IIRC which had a slightly higher compression ratio (10.5), but not so much that I would be concerned, unless you are planning on forced induction!. Audi 3A engines had the same 82.5 pistons but longer stroke (2.0 8v) which had the same CR as the DX. I'm assuming that the head gaskets may be slightly different thickness. Otherwise, you should be fine.
