Yea, there's some that can cost upward of $20.. they all do the same job, they may last a little longer.. but is it really worth it. Id rather pay $12 for 6 ... then $12 for 1.

If i cant get what i want for the car, ill prob do the leads and coilpack to..
Iv heard Eagle leads or something thrown around a bit.. thoughts on leads?

apparently top gun leads arent too bad, might plan on getting some within the next week as my current motorcraft ones are most likely gone (spark plugs were replaced at service just not the leads)
anyone recommend anything?

I was under the impression iridium plugs were a waste without thicker leads. Oh and you can't go wrong with the genuine leads

I paid 80 odd from supercheap for the bosch motorsports, the standard bosch leads are around $60 from memory. As sleeper said they look pretty good and are top quality

I also have the blue bosch leads. Good stuff and look awesome. Would look great with the blue silicone hoses too.

I have the regular NGK plugs, seem good enough. I just cant warrant spending $15 per plug

I just bought some NGKs from Auto one, Cost me $27, for 6 plugs,

They seem to do the job pretty well seeing though i was running the orignal plugs on that engine i bought, man were they rooted,
