Spark Plugs and Wires

[Flanderz]

Hey guys
just wondering is there any major difference between plugs and wires performace wise. Was thinking of going OBX brand from ebay for wires and prob NGK platinum or iridium. Bosch super 4's look cool but are they any good (they have 4 spark prongs on the end and are supposed to give a nice clean spark). Oh and are the wires that have the seperate grounding for each wire any good or is this just a gimmick?

dude unless ur car is really tuned on the edge there is nothign to be gained or lost with expensive/cheap sparkies/leads......

the only difference i would think u notice would be how long they last

btw, bosch super 4's are crap. they foul up real quick.
just stick to your factory recommended NGK's for plugs. they are about 1/4 the cost of platinum/iridium. you're not likely to notice a diff with them

changing plugs and leads will only improve gain by about 1-2%. It is more noticeable in older cars then newer cars due to now high tech fuel systems and ECU.
Get NGK Iridium as they are cheaper then platinum and are the best performer in the NGK range.

here are some information from NGK
