Better to replace all four if you can afford it. A good spark is VERY important with these cars. Get OE items.

If yours are original and have been on the car since new they could probably do with changing if you want to keep optimal performance, you'l see better throttle responce.

all you need to do is check the tips under the rubber. if they are spilt, replace, if not then they may be ok for a few more miles

Zen sell OEM spec ones - just get OEM ones (despite being 'pricy'). After all, you won't have to worry about them for another c.10 years once fitted

I have two Zen ones fitted - gotta get the other two when I get my HGs done on Fri

Yes - because they're the correct single bolt type.

IIRC correctly, the double bolt type fit early Legacy/Liberty EJ20 engines.
