Re: Brake replacement
I would get your self a set of torx bits, and a set of inverted torx sockets for this car. DO NOT use an allen wrench, or anything that is close cause it can round it out or strip it. It is much better to have the right tool to do the job correct and not to damage the attaching hardware. You can get these tools just about anywhere and at resonable prices.

Don't have time to hunt it down at the moment but if you search for TORX I know there is a thread with a good list of packs to buy that pretty much cover it all. I just ran to Sears and grabbed a few packs\styles (cant remember all of what i got but it was prob in 80-100$ range) and got pretty much every size other than the HUUUUGE ones.
