hello

I have just been quoted $202 for a set of leads from my local honda dealer!! In Repco I was quoted $108 for some make I cannot remember!! :P

Can anyone point me the right direction as where I can locate some decent but cheapish leads!!

cheers

get OEM Honda leads.....the best money can buy.

No point spending alittle less for a temporary outcome - on online tests , OEM honda leads actually produced more spark/power /efficiency than some "more expensive" aftermarket brands.....

Go around to Hannys performance in Smithfield , and grab a set of OEMs...cost about $150 i believe ? Robert there will install for free and have a quick look at ur car too :) Good service :)

d16a is a 1.6 DOHC NON VTEC engine from the gen 2 CRX and the Si civics.

My friend has 2 of those engines sitting in his house, if u want come around and scatter thru wot he has .

You prob get it cheap.

I walked into a Honda Dealer down here in Adelaide about 3 years ago and bought Genuine D16A8 leads for my old engine for $120.00

$202 what a rip off

you could go for a set of TopGun 8.8mm Leads for around the $130 mark

I wouldnt pay $202 for Honda Leads man ... try another Honda Dealer.

well I reckon BOSCH and NGK spark plug leads do a good job!! However for $202 thats a bit of a rip off! Maybe thats include installation which you could do yourself. Than again, just shop around, you are a bound to get a set which suits your budget nicely.
