Default TPI Bolt Replacement

Anybody running the 124pc kit from alloyboltz?
I've got some torx with stripped heads and refuse to replace them with more torx.

Any other suggestions?

I was running the stainless allens for my runners and they were great, with a 6mm ball end hex driver the runners are a breeze to remove/install. I'm going to be changing setups, so I've actually got them for sale in the Parts section.

I replaced all of mine with allen heads from a local bolt supplier for under $6. The allen heads and a ball end hex makes things a breeze.

Yep. I used them when I replaced my fuel injectors. No complaints.

You've got all the answers for my questions. The Walker ended up being the right one as well. Thanks.
