Also being as this is my first ever brake job (and I'm brickin it), what other tools will I need and does anyone have any tips?
Aside from having a squeak from the front when braking I also need some new discs on the car. I'm thinking of going for these instead of emptying the bank account for OEM parts:

How about greases and tools for compressing the pistons? Are those EBC parts OK BTW? Was thinking of Mintex pads with EBC discs otherwise, as there seems to be mixed reviews on the greenstuffs.

As for tools for pushing the pistons back, that's what the levers for.
You will need some copper slip to grease the back of the pads your right.

I skipped the greenstuffs in the end and went for mintex. Worked out quite well as I ended up avoiding eBay and going to camskill where I got discs and pads for £150.
Will grab some copper slip too. Do I need anything for the wear sensors?
Ahh right, would a breaker bar do the trick do you think?

Much appreciated mate
I may well take you up on that as I don't want to fudge up something so serious!O/T I just realised I ordered the wrong discs from camskill (rear rather than front). Fronts were £40 more expensive, but when I called to cancel the order they offered to change the order over for nothing!
