    a lead is a lead....... full stop

    no brand has any huge diffrence, all get the spark there with no diffrence
    with any vl you will not notice any diffrence only time you will is if your car is a heavly worked car or top door slammer.

    it comes down to personal opinon on brands,
    i have used egale, top gun and bosch leads on my cars and they all worked the same just the prices were diffrent

    Yep Yep.

    Unless you have a really really really high compression engine or it revs out to 10 000 rpm, a lead is a lead. I use NGK, always have done. The size of the lead is just the insulation, the cores are usually all the same size.
