Default Where is a good place to find thicker head gaskets for B18B?

I am planning on boosting my B18B. But I cannot find a head gasket that is thicker than 1 mm. I would rather get a metal head gasket, but if anyone knows where to get any kind of thicker gasket, please tell me. Thanks.

I need a thicker head gasket to lower the compression. Also, what does 1 mm convert to in inches?

The cometic gaskets I saw were only .030" thick, which drops the CR to 9.1. I am trying to get somewhere around 8.4-8.7. Please someone let me know if you know of a place to get one.
