Question STI V2 heads

Im thinkin about changing the heads on my 1994 wrx. As v3 heads are a bit scarce, is it worth while fitting v2sti heads or am i better holding off till some v3 heads appear?

LOL... maybe get some UK heads and keep a look out for some decent cams and Sti valve train. More messing than ready built heads that you can just 'pop' on. What about Sti4, not as 'wild' cams but still ok .

Or i was going to suggest phase 2 STi heads and inlet manifold, not sure the GEMS can run the stepper motor on the phase 2 inlet tho.

the problem is they are over bucket shimmed so won't take the rpm.. you may as well reprofile WRX cams etc..

I have nearly build some STi3 heads, or rather got the parts together.. need sti valves to complete the parts list..
