Ignition Leads

I need to get some new leads for the NA6, Should I just get whatever Coventry has or should I get a particular type?
Thanks
Graham

The Mazda OEM costs around $60 for a set...seem to last around 30,000Km. I have had NGK blue leads on two of my MX-5s and found them to last longer than the OEM, these cost around $110. There are others such as Magnecor which start at around $135 for a NA.

Just got a new set for my NA6 a few months back from QLD Ignition Leads up at Kallangur, who told me they don't do magnecor any more. They are making their own leads, so I ended up getting a set of 9mm leads, rang them up to order them, and received a call back within 30 minutes to let me know they were ready. Cost around $150 though, so not cheap, but from the look of them, I am hoping they will outlast the car.

Oooh thanks John - I have been wanting to get new custom leads for a while as the stock ones don't fit because of my slightly custom coil setup.

I'll have to give those guys a call... :D
