Ford quoted me $420 for wires & the coil pack. ('00 ZX3)
DAMN! that is cray-zee.

They said $126 for sparkplugs.
WTF are they smoking?? This is a 4-cylinder, not a (old) v-12 Ferrari F1 engine!

I figure if they're charging that much I can probably find something cheaper in the performance aftermarket.

What are the best bang for the bucks on wires, plugs & coilpacks?

Plugs shouldn't be more than $50 with taxes for a normal Zetec application. Each plug is about $12 from the Ford Parts Counter - double platinum Motorcraft plugs.

Plug wires should be under $80 with taxes. It's been over a year since I replaced them, but I don't see the prices changing that much.

For the Zetec application, it's a 1.3mm gap. I've found with the Motorcraft plugs I've bought that it's pre-gapped to spec. Luck of the draw :)

I just did my plugs yesterday. Car is happier :)
