Standard Subaru Steel gaskets, Cometic, or cosworth work just fine. Pricing is similar between all three.

If your running OEM pistons and the heads/block faces have not been skimmed,then you need :
Version 1 ~ 4 - Thick Steel Subaru Head Gaskets.
Version 5 onwards - Thin Steel Subaru Head Gaskets.
