What are the common sized Hazet tools for a 993?

I basically want to buy a set of hazets, but dont know what sizes I need. I usually do all my own work on my porsche.

I am currently doing suspension mods, and the rear lower bolts are Hazet, and I dont have a clue on the size.

Thanks

Hazet is a brand of tool. Most of the bolts on the suspension are metric sizes, from 15 up to 19mm. There are a couple of torx bits, not exactly sure of the size but they are common.


I think I am confused when you said certain bolts are "Hazet". Could you explain please.

Do you mean what are the common sizes so you can purchase the best range of tools? If you are doing the front shocks and need the special "hazet" brand open socket I think I have come up with a better solution. PM me if you want more details.

XZN are the triple square heads, they have 12 points. If you had 8, 10, 12, and 14mm you'd probably have all you need. I think hazet calls them xzn.

The rear lower bolts are a Torx from my recollection. Porsche makes a nice curved tool with a handle for this bolt.

xzn100 for an eight piece kit 4, 5, 6, 8 ,10, 12, 14, 16mm (short Shaft)
vb5201 for a four piece 6, 8, 10, 12mm (long Shaft)

I dont know the quality, I am use to snap on and craftsman. I will let you guys know

Thanks

Ill check again if its torx, I thought I saw triple square. I have all the torx sizes, but I still think having a nice set of triple square is a good thing
