Spark plug Wires?
I think my car needs new plug wires(150k). Is there an aftermarket brand that is quality and exact fit or should I spring for the $217 factory set?

The $217 quote was from the Pembroke Pines dealership, which I thought was a discounter. Where can I get oe wires for $125? Thanks!

the OEM wires are denso or sumitomo iirc, so the consumer NGKs should be of equal or greater quality.

I just found the NGK TE132 wires on Amazon for $90, with free shipping. That may be my best deal.

OE wires in this application are Yazaki
Don't buy Denso plug wires for this car. They're CRAP. Made in America, very loose fit, reminds me of Bosch plug wires.

Do you suggest OEM for those or is there a good aftermarket option? I may need to look into a set since last time i changed my plugs one of the plugs pulled from the coil. I put it back together, but it's still technically broken.
