Spark plug wires!

My spark plug wires are in need of replacing soon as they are orignals! (161,000 kms, 10 years old).

Anyone have any favorite/preferred brands for wires? Ive heard that bosche wires are junk and that msds dont last very long.

Where should I purchase them from? I usually go to part source or auto parts plus

Suggestions?

I usually like the comapnys that cater to your cars specific needs ie) honda=spoon etc they have quality wiring sets although quite expensive also a fan of NGK wiring sets

buy off the internet tho you can get better quality parts for cheaper

But its a saturn lol, i dont want cheap ass wires that will fall apart in a year, but i dont want expensive 120$ wires either. And id rather not buy online because its just a pita for me.

Also im running NGK V-power plugs if anyone wants to tell me if they are good or bad.

From what I've read NGK is one reconized as a very good sparkplug.
Best bet is just to get a new set off say ebay.

id go NGK

I dont know whats wrong with my car, probably cus its a sunfire but i gotta get new plugs n wires to before it dies...

NGK wires from Auto Electric is good Nice Blue wires, well at least mine were blue.

And they are lifetime too, if i'm correct.

What did you pay for them? Were they fairly expensive?

for the hyundai, i believe it was $60 some after taxes.

all vehicle applications differ tho.

I phoned around and these are my choices so far:

Bosch premiums
Champion platnums
Blue streak
and Neihoff or something.

I will call auto electric on monday, or does anyone know if they are open sundays?

I dont think they are open on Sundays..how bad do you need the wires?

They dont need to be changed asap, im just impatient lol.

I bought some Champion plug wires today, came to $40 with tax. Car runs a lot better already, the slight miss at idle is gone!

Yay!!!

Thats a good price..where did you buy it from?

what kind of warranty on the plug wires?

I just bought some champion wires and plugs 2 weeks ago. Came to 60 bucks for all.

my NGKs came to about $60..but then again, we have jobber pricing if i buy thru work..so...

but hey, if it works, thats the best part ....grin

I bought from canadian tire, not sure on warranty. I could have got Accell yellow wires for 20$ more but meh. I guess i still could if I wanted to just exchange, do you think they are worth extra 20?

Nah..for the extra $20, go get a nice meal. The Champion ones will do just as nice.

Besides, I think you pay extra for the yellow colour..

Yea i think your right. Besides, its not like my car is any "high performance" machine lol. The wires would be pointless without uprgraded ignition but id rather stick to OEM for reliability reasons
