What tools do you need in specific? I'll throw my wrench set into my trunk just in case, I have the sparkplug wrench you need, but since I've never changed plugs on a subie myself, I dunno what else you'll need. The wife and I should be there between 9 and 9:30

**Edit, just saw your post, I have extensions and stuff in my set.
