Unless your running a 500 bhp supra etc mate then standard factory leads are well up to the job.

Save your cash.

GM ones are good enough though

Aren't Megacore leads over £100 for a set? For that much money I would expect a performance upgrade... I would have to look very hard to see any benefits over standard though.

Also, when you consider what HT leads are made of you will understand why even the standard ones are expensive. It's not metal wire that they are amde of...

GM leads are about £240 for the SET.

Well they are for my X14XE anyway.

I shit you not - phone up your local dealer and ask - they only sell them individually as well and not as a set!

When you say direct do you mean from the factory or from a dealer?

The price I got quoted was from two different dealers - one in Slough and one in Oxford.

i bought a performance set for my old corsa... (1.4 16v with cams etc)

i was forever ripping the wires from the terminals, and when i switched back to the OE GM ones the car ran better.
