I started out with just this and i had no issue till i started needing specialty junk. Codeblues and Dogbones are my best friends (These if you want more sizes), These + a larger set and a 11-1 w/ t25 security bit. Good razor and flush cuts of your choice. Beyond that its all climbing/rigging convenience stuff.
If you're not hurting for money, I would recommend buying a set of coilovers instead of springs. You can adjust the ride height of your car to exactly what you want, and allow you to run a wider wheel, should you go that route in the future (the physical diameter of a coilover is smaller than that of the stock strut). That said, a set of good springs is probably better than some cheap coilovers, like some $500 ones from Raceland.
Regardless, install is something you can probably do yourself. It's actually simpler with coilovers, but if you do go with springs, get yourself a set of spring compressors (can be rented from places like AutoZone - return them and it costs you nothing), and some kind of socket with an open back, such as a spark plug socket or something like this because you'll need it.
As with all suspension modifications, it's a good idea to get an alignment afterwards as well.
> Yep, get those BGS flare nut spanners
Actually, I ended up getting a "pass thru" wrench set which I think should work, but haven't had a chance to try yet.
> The screws holding the caliper bracket however might as well be welded in - those were a son of a bitch to loosen up.
Fuck me -- mine was in so tight I stripped the head right off and ended up having to dremel the damn thing out and go buy replacements. That was before I had the fire insight -- after which things went much better.
Get one of those pass through socket sets maybe? https://www.amazon.com/Crescent-CX6PT20-Pass-Through-Ratchet-20-Piece/dp/B009L8GEPM%3Fpsc%3D1%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q%26tag%3Dduckduckgo-ffcm-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB009L8GEPM

Interesting, I wasn't aware of this one. Indeed could be really useful.
The only downside that I see is that you'll most likely have to remove the rear motor cable connectors, because you'll need to remove the rubber nut cap. When I was changing my rear brake disc last week, I managed to do that without removing the connectors.
Front motor cable connectors though have to be removed every time - otherwise it's just fucking impossible to pull it through those tight holes of the front suspension.

I have it, and haven't had any issues with it, though I rarely use it.
I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but I have these and they're great for long bolts and stuff.
