oh dear, good luck finding a set of leads for your VZ.
(Alloytec's don't need leads, the coils sit straight on the plugs ! ;)
And plugs won't make any difference, just replace with the standard ones, how many k's on your car ?

Plugs you'd be looking at roughly 20 bucks per plug. That's just off the top of my head though.

But yeah, VZs don't have leads, and you're not going to gain any noticeable difference from "High performance" plugs. Just stick to standard platinums.

Make sure the vacuume pipe of the throttle body is not split and sucking air, that will give you a miss fire

Some plugs cost $60 each. Not sure what these are but said to have platinum and so-and-so with a life of 160,000km.

Dead spots in acceleration? Check your knock sensors and oxygen sensors. Maybe try an ECU reset (i.e. battery disconnect) also. Plugs should be changed at 100,000km intervals on petrol models and the best plugs to use are either double platinums or iridiums.

i hope your not paying 20 bux for a plug, let alone 60 bux...i think 11-12 bux for the ngk iridums part number ltr6ap-11 from the top of me head, get them from anywhere, i'd say ngk would be the best, dunno why, its a personal thing, spark plug's a spark plug really, all they gotta do is spark and that's their job done.
