It will all depend upon which engine you have and have the head(s) been skimmed?
Also if its not a reputable dealer, you would be best off going to one of the more used suppliers of subaru parts.

You want steel, dont go for the composite/fibre ones, those were on the early engines and are not that good.
Also you need to see what EJ number your engine is, I cannot remember off the top of my head but there is a change over between the thinner and thicker gasket sets (ask David at API, he may even provide you with a decent set
)

'99/Version 5 was the change over to Phase2 engine and the thinner gaskets.
As mentioned above, the fibre/composite gaskets tend to fail especially around the lower coolant gallerys - go for Multi Layer Steel (MLS) gaskets even if its for the short term.
