Where should I buy a new head gasket set?

[Guest Anonymous]

Are the ones over the internet any good? 'Cuz they sure are cheaper. Or should I go full-fare and go through the dealer? Also, when I install my new head, is it worth it to buy new head bolts as well? Or do head bolts generally last forever? Anything else I should be doing when installing the head?

I got a set for my 2002tii from Bavarian Autosport (www.bavauto.com) at a fairly reasonable price of $98 dollars. I looked around, and for the most part, the prices for a complete set are +/- a couple bucks, but I had ordered from Bavarian before, and usually the parts are on my door step within a couple days, far faster than 2002 AD in LA!! Not sure about the dealer prices, tho...
