86 turbo rebuild

I have a 86 turbo with stage 2 street port and s5 housings. It is in need of new apex seals and springs, has low compression. What is the recommended rebuild kit and do i need any special tools? I had planned on buying the atkins rebuild dvd as i have never torn into a rotary before. I am a diesel technician so i know engines very well. Just looking for a good solid rebuild kit and advise on what to avoid.
Thanks

Atkins has a good selection of reasonably priced rebuild kits which you can pick up at the same time as the DVD. There aren't really any special tools required, save for a 54MM socket for the flywheel nut.
