    Test theie resistance if they are in spec you don't need new ones however if you do go and get some genuine ones.

    i was advised by my mechanic of many years to only use genuine ones otherwise others tend to destroy coil packs.

    My mechanic claims if ur using bosch dizzy stick to bosch leads (no major difference if you dont, but bosch compliments bosch etc). If you go to MSD stick with MSD leads.

    Once again wont make a major difference but everything should work to its potential.

    the last time I asked which was about 18 months ago a set of genuine leads were about $50.00. Supercharged ones are maybe different lengths due to different routing etc.

    Try stick with genuine holden ones, I had some bosch ones and they just went to hell, just didn't work properly and in the end they fell apart.

    I bought new spark plugs and leads - all GM genuine for roughly $85 brand new
