2020 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
When I bought in May they were in stock and got in a few days. Must be ordering from China themselves!

Still haven't bought the brake caliper socket yet. Amazing that something used on so many Euro cars as well as the C8 is so hard to come by. You'd think every Auto Parts store would stock them.

An E16 is a standard external Torx bit and there are some degree differences (like 15 degrees) on the drive surfaces. The EP is Torx Plus and it basically gets a better, less likely to slip and strip, drive on the fastener. In this case the shallow head fasteners on the C8 are Torx Plus and if you want the sockets that actually fit correctly, you need to buy Torx Plus external or EP. The number is the size, like EP12, EP14, EP16, etc.
