Parts for head gasket replacement

So, going to replace the head gasket on my civic, 1995.. What is the best kit to use (cost and quality)... and also a head bolt kit.. I found one from arp but it is a head stud kit. I just want to replace with factory style bolts.

If you're looking for cheap, but quality parts, check out majestichonda.com. I've always had a good experience with them. Also, I'd definitely recommend the tri-metallic headgasket.

And definitely keep the head bolts you already have, unless you absolutely need new ones. And be sure to remove and install them in the proper order and to the recommended torque specs.
