The 'main' 3 specialists I've spoken to i.e. API, Zen and RCM all advocate using steel HG replacements, over fibre, where appropriate. I think API and RCM use MLS STi v.1-4 ones for upto MY98. And Zen use super duper metal Cosworth items with all sorts of treatments to them (check it out on their site). MY93-98 are 1.6mm thick.
The MY99/00 ones, I believe, are only 0.6mm, I think.

These are the same price, or dearer!, then the metal ones that API, Zen, RCM supply! Their ones are about £110-130 odd!... And you know there'll be fine, etc...
