changed the coil leads on my Vy series 2 supercharged 6 Calais with top gun heavy duty leads and now the car is idling real rough, shaking etc.

wasn't doing this before. What is causing this?

Obviously the leads, check if they are all secured tightly or not in the wrong firing order.

Yep. cylinder 2 and 4 were switched around. I've changed spark plugs and coil leads but it's still taking a few tries to get the engine going? what could it be

Try getting a better set of leads as in my opinion, Top Gun aren't really renowned for quality.
