Yes, it is. I personally liked the reassurance of hearing the gasket material crush down as I tightened the bolts.

That said...it's a gasket, tighten it down and it will do it's job. I just figured since I was replacing the gasket anyways, I may as well use the MLM one.

I'm not sure if its an S15 gasket because we have the same oem gaskets over here for the S14.

Good quality though, i am missing 1 stud and have no leaks..:oface

Copper has worked fine for me for 3 years and I have reused it many times.
