Default Spark Plug Wires - Whats Good?

I plan on doing a tune up soon. I'm going to replace everything, plugs, wires, cap and rotor and serp. belt. I was curious what do you guys recommend for spark plug wires or what to stay away from?

I think your best bet is to use the brand that come in it, Delco.

Delco or NGK (heard they're the exact same just different branding on the plugs at least) plus i've never had any issues in any of my GM's running NGK iridiums (2.4L 4 cyl 99 sunfire, 3400 V6 '02 cavalier now on iridium laser cuts) and the Jimmy's about to get a set of NGK plat's with NGK wires, AC Delco distro cap & rotor.


The cav i've noticed a dramatic increase in response and fuel burn off (no unburnt fuel stank from tail pipe) but that kind of increase could be due to just new plugs n wires as u ALWAYS notice a difference from sh|tty plugs to new plugs (sometimes small sometimes dramatic)

check www.rockauto.com for pricing and shipping to where u are. i got them from my local car parts store since i get the bottom line pricing from them - cost me $5 a plug and about $80 for the wire kit.

Auto-Zone has their Duralast wires with a lifetime warranty. They look like factory wires and you only buy them once.

Looking at it, I really don't *need* wires. Just plugs, check the cap/rotor and replace the serp belt with one that'll cut out the A/C compressor since mine's shot anyway.
