I've been wanting one of these. I suspect the long handle will give you much better leverage on those rear CO's.

Amazon.com: Joes Racing 33000 Long Coil-over Spanner Wrench: Automotive

I'm wondering if I should cancel my order...

Odds are, only one of those is going to be the wrench you need. And seeing as you just spent $134 for one wrench (out of four) that you'll only use at least once, but maybe two or three times, my advice is yes... You went overboard here.

Granted, you need two spanner wrenches to get the necessary leverage to seat/unseat the locking ring. If it were me (which it kind of is), I'd get one cheap spanner wrench, and the one nice long-handled wrench.

Personally, I'm not digging the "pin" at the end of the Joe's Wrench, but am probably over-thinking it. IMO, Joe's Racing products are top-shelf, but I base that only on reviews, and owning their Air Gauge, which is great. It's an excellent quality gauge. In fact, as a stocking stuffer, this would be a great item to gently nudge your spouse for:

I thought about going that route, but my cars a daily driver and a lot of people seem to think the SPL were more suited for track as a daily they would tend to get more debris in them.

i'll be installing the RJM pedal assembly over the holidays. bought it a while back but i've been too busy to get after it.

i'll also do a full interior/exterior detail.

i did a wax recently but after a moron knocked off my passenger side mirror, the mirror left a few scratches on the passenger door so a paint blend and related bodyshop BS stripped of a bunch of protection. actually, the car is going back to be wet sanded tomorrow since i noticed dust in the re-painted body panels (door & fender).

Good for you! That pedal is truly a worthy driving mod.

I am installing TB's and a upper intake. The TB's are from Synolimit and the intakes are from the Z1Motosports. At least I will save money on shipping I will drive and pick it myself.

Tanabe axle-back exhaust. I don't know why, but I don't really mod my sedan very often. It could be the kids sucking up all my free time and money.
