OEM.

Get them from Import Car Parts (cheaper than official stealers). They do the coilpack too, should you need it.


Are yours not working/breaking down etc.? If not, then I'd leave well alone (if it ain't broke don't fix it etc. - esp. when it comes to electrics)...

When I had the car serviced my mechanic said one of the connectors to the spark plug was cracked, and they are the original set according to the date, he only left them as he knows the car is modded and thought I might want up rated ones. I had a feeling that oem were best buy thought I'd check. Cheers Joz.

I can't remember, but I think ICP sell the leads separately - so you can get the correct one without wasting cash.

But be careful, as, from memory, they are either all different lengths, or at least pairs are of different lengths (due to the offset coilpack on the MY99/00 cars).

So just make sure you don't get the shorter passenger side one, if you actually need a driver side one?


Er, basically, just try and get the correct one LOL.

Yeah. If one is cracking, then it's likely the others won't be too far behind, anyway

If you cant locate some std ones then the magnecor plugs for a 99/00 are a worthwhile upgrade imho.They come supplied for in the correct length for each plug so no worries regarding fitting.
