    Just get standard NGK ones man dont bother with platinums or iridiums.
    And best leads would prob be TOPGUN 10mm but they are quite pricey

    i beleive the best leads on the market are the MSD ones. they have much less resistance (40-50ohms/ft Vs 250-500ohms/ft) then the normal leads (but with the same RFI suppression) which means more of the power reaches the spark plug for a stronger spark

    I always reply with the same answer everytime this question gets posted. Unless you've upgraded your ignition system just stick with your basic leads and plugs. My choice of plugs and leads are Bosch. About $3.50 - $4.00 per plug and $40 - $50 for a set of leads. Stick with Bosch or NGK plugs and Bosch, NGK, Top Gun or Eagle leads and both your bank balance and car will be happy.
