Sparkplug leads

Its time I got some new leads, the misfiring and poor fuel economy is getting to me :)

I currently have Eagle 8mm leads. I've looked at Champion leads (i think they are 8mm, no one seems to know) that are on special at Repco, and they seem fairly good. Any good/bad experiences with these? anyone got any opinions of say, 10mm leads?

Re: Sparkplug leads

I bought some champions for my XF and they made my misfire problems even worse than my old leads! (these were the red triple silicone range). Got some Bosch Super ones and everything has been smooth sailing!.

Re: Sparkplug leads

good old aussie top guns, 8.8's are good, (mine are bright green), 10's are too big and you cant put a timing light on them, but otherwise id have 10's, and eagle now makes an 11mm lead.....no idea how it goes, but it sounds tops
