buy some nice cheap spark plugs from Halfords or your local motorfactor. The best plugs are new ones, unless your car has a turbo, supercharger or runs exotic fuel, Nos or is race tuned etc etc you will not need anything beyond the heat range of a normal plug. Don't waste your money on special plugs or special leads.

LoL, that's because you have a coil pack. The VTS doesn't use HT leads.

I have some mundane NGK ones in my full race engine. There is absolute no point over specking on plugs. Same goes for HT leads. Its just throwing money away that could go on something that would actually give you power. If you want to spend lots on plugs just get cheap ones and change them often.

Yeah, the key is keeping the gap in each plug in its optimum distance. Replacing them will save you having to worry I suppose.

It also let you know the insulation is in tip top condition and that they will be clean form any contamination. Ironically even fuel will damage plugs. Its like oil, if you just have a average oil but you change it often it will be better for your engine then getting tip top oil and leaving it till it gets all messy.
