Spark Plug Leads Brand?

Post by GOONIESnvrSAYdie » Tue Mar 31, 2015 12:55 pm

Afternoon chaps,

Cars booked in for a service on Thursday. I didn't get around to it last year but want to put new plug leads on.

I know there's a popular aftermarket brand most people use but I can't for the life of me remember it or find it on a post.

Any ideas?

I need them for my 2.2l 5th Gen Type-S, preferably in red :)

Thanks

Magnecor KV85's ;)

The cheapest place I could find for them when I bought my set http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/cheap/84 ... 45165.html

You might find them cheaper elsewhere now though.

No, that is pretty much still the cheapest place to get them.

Those are the best Goonie.

Otherwise there are NGK Spitfires, or the likes of Nology Hotwires, which are a lot more money and a bit gimmiky if you ask me.

Cheers bud, I'll get some ordered right away.

Thanks to the other replies as well, much appreciated.

How expensive is it to make your own? ..or is that a false economy?

I think someone did look at doing it once. It seems a ball ache to me.

It was my dad's idea when I was looking for some for the Astra - must be an old school thing..
