I considered it but even with loyalty code, the price was about $150 more when compared to RMEuropean. I'm aware of their lifetime warranty but I doubt that I'll have issue with these parts during my ownership.
Also, I buy from them here and there and I wish them luck, but who's to say they won't go out of business soon and there goes you lifetime warranty.
As for special tools, as seen in some of pictures:
I actually laughed today at ease that BMW factory ball join tool is breaking 13 year old ball joints.
It's not pictured, but I strongly recommend Hub puller that looks like a paw, although the one from AutoZone was to small and I had to modify it.
And of course, the bigger variety the better of combination 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22mm in wrenches and sockets.
Also, good quality coil spring compressor. Actually OEM, brand from AutoZone, even though is somewhat generic, it has served me well.
To finish it, big air compressor is must as nothing replaces it in situation when you need that sudden torque.
