don't think you do,your standard heads should go straight on.if you can get a set of sti heads it will be better.

standard wrx heads fit straight on mate, just done the same thing. 2.5 gaskets and set the comp ratios properly with gasket thickness.

Be careful as if your heads are phase 1 units (93-96) and your looking for anything over 350bhp ish the cams are to mild . I know I've got this problem so I've just bought a new set to put on . Buy sti heads v3 or v4
