Question the impreza uses all metric hardware... right?
Was putting a new tool kit together and I wanna reduce size (and cost) if I go All metric.

So has anyone run into a case where you needed SAE Socket or wrench? Again this is for OEM parts only. No aftermarket.

Thanks...

10, 12, 14, 17 and 19mm are going to be the most common sizes you'll use. Make sure to get deep socket 10mm (battery tie-down) 17 & 19mm, or combination wrenches in those sizes.

Make sure you get 6 point end wrenches and sockets if you plan on doing any suspension work

Hey Leo,

If you want to get tools on the cheap, talk to my buddy Mark. He bought a few Lots of tools from NUMMI when they shut down.. He's getting rid of them dirt cheap..
