Default SC400 Spark Plug wires
- Just about to replace spark plug wires/ distributor caps & rotors and the plugs themselves. Does anyone think it will make a difference if I don't use OEM plug wires, and if I use something like bosch set or another aftermarket brand? or should I stick with OEM?

The OEM ones come with all the channels and clips. I'd be very careful about any aftermarket wires giving you the right fit. I Paid $94 for my OEM ones from Carson. Can you buy aftermarket one a lot cheaper than that?

Denso is certainly reputable enough. Where did you buy these?

I actually got them from a great guy off ebay. He used them on his NA-T SC300 for about 900 miles until his engine blew (due to his crappy wastegate not opening or something)

So, good luck on finding some more, I would definietly recommend hitting up ebay.

Try Carson Toyota in California. They can order any Lexus OEM part and they have very good prices I believe the stock wires are made by Denso, just like many of the other electrical components on Toyota and Lexus vehicles.
