I think a std STi 5/6 engine uses thin 0.6mm HGs. But it all depends on your STi 3 (or 4) pistons as mentioned.
Is a 3cc lesser chamber volume really enough to significantly increase the CR, and therefore thicker gaskets required? Don't know?

i suppose though if thats the case i cant use any less then 0.55 mm gaskets as they dont exist so should be fine with that thickness as it should run a lower comp due to the larger cc of the 5 heads.
