Probably wont make a difference unless you have some serious tuning or power to start off with.

I have some on order from Performance leads.

nice one for that, they are talking about V6 though, i only got 1.8. Is there anybody who changed there leads on 1.8 who could recomend some High Quality ones?

I'd say changing HT leads, plugs and dizzy cap are all service items and should be done at some point to retain good ignition.

www.formulapower.com are another source. Gold Club Members get a discount too.

is there a certain brand i should go for? Thmx Mark.T looked at the site

I got Splitfire but Magnecor are supposed to be good as well.

You won't see a noticeable improvement unless your current ones are knackered. The stock leads aren't great and they're nearly as expensive as the aftermarket ones (especially if you hunt about).

so splitfire/magnecor are good, what size do i get i seen 8.5mm and on the link above were they talking bout the V6 they speak bout 10mm?

I'm pretty sure that Magnecor do 7mm, 8mm and 10mm.

Splitfires are 8.8mm but have two separate conductors.

You can get Kerr Nelson ones from fordprobestore for the 1.8 that are 10mm quad core

so would you say that the wider the cables are the better they are or????

The greater the cross-sectional area of the conductor, the less resistance it will create. Also, thicker insulation prevents arcing and damage.

Sorry, i need telling basic lol by cross sectional area do you mean the thickness of the lead IE 7mm 8mm 10mm ect, by less resistance what exactly do you mean? :P

Yep, thicker cable means more electricity flowing down it more easily.

Less resistance (easier flow) means less current (power) needed to do the job so less stress on alternator, leads, distributor, etc.

I see whatyou mean Scott5050, thanks for that

Can recommend Magnecore KV80s - do the business on my one-eight
