Hi guys, just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction in regards to purchasing the relevant parts for my head gasket replacement/repair.

I have a 55 plate WRX (standard) and so far I have the motor pulled with the heads almost ready to come off. After reading through various thread's on this forum, I've noticed people recommending Cosworth stopper head gaskets along with the ARP head bolts.
So my question is this, where is the best (cheapest) place to purchase these parts from or is there a complete kit of similar build quality available?
Any recommendations?

Also, any extra hints & tips you wish to share that might help with my repair are most welcome because this is my first time tackling this job and I'm basically learning as I go along.

lateral performance i would go with . or something similar. Reason being i`d rather pay a bit more and be assured i get genuine parts then paying £10 less from an E-bay Genuine (fake) parts.

for standard car you can still use subaru multi steel layer gaskets. same on the bolts if ARP are too expensive (£200 i believe) and really not worth it unless you go for hight boost levels.

Firstly, thanks for your reply and much appreciated.

I've been doing some research in the time spent between my last post and now, I've discovered that it's possible I may be going slightly overkill with the previous part's mentioned, especially considering I'm completely standard
So.... I've managed to find a reputable head gasket workshop (specialist) in my area that are going to pressure test and possibly re-skim my heads (which I think is most likely) and also point me in the right direction of some (hopefully) quality parts to see me on my way.
Finger's crossed and hopefully I can save on a few unnecessary pounds that needn't be spent, hence the original post/question.

Thanks.
