Anyone have suggestions on a brand of socket to protect rims? Also, any other specialty tools needed for a CTR. Thanks.

I picked up a Titan socket for the FK8, assuming the same one can be used for the FL5. Get a torque wrench so you don't risk overtightening the lugs. A couple of floor jacks and a couple of pairs of jack stands are useful too, if you want to work underneath the car, do oil changes, remove all wheels, etc.

Any socket that has a non-metal/plastic sleeve on the outside will do. The one mentioned above can be found at your local auto parts store.
