Any downside to picking up something like this? Do I need the OEM set?

sr use copper head gaskest i believe not sure so don't quote me on it but if your gonna get new headgasket go with an aftermarket one like cometic or apexi something like that then you have no need to change it after you upgrade turbo and up your boost

I got my SR20 gasket set from Phase2 for SR20. It was from Nissan...

It'd be for an SR20. I don't have any plans to up my boost. I hear cometic is worse than OEM.

Really I would go nothing less than OEM for the head gasket seeing that its very time consuming the one of the most critical parts of the engine.

Me I'm just agaisnt E-Bay so I would shell out the money for a True OEM gasket kit cuz I perfer quality
The Nismo Shop : West Covina Nissan : S13 SR20DET Gasket Kit (http://www.thenismoshop.com/ikorb.php?func=catalog&category_id=951&product_id=202)

If your replacing the H/G I would go ahead and spring for a metal H/G with ARP Head studs

Avoid buying Cometic!

Power Enterpirse, Apexi, Tomei, Greddy ect...
I've heard Coworth is pretty good though, but not experiance with it
