Default Know where to get Sparkplug wires/roto/cap for under $650!!!!???

Hey guys! Just called my local pcar dealer, and they want $650 for 944S2 sparkplug wires/cap/rotor!! Seems a little steep to me. Any idea where I can get an electrical tuneup kit for a reasonable price?

Thanks again guys!

how much less is sunset? I know the wires on a S2 are killer. my brother put fat aftermarket wires on his S2. Not my first choice for a bone stock car but.... he is rice.

If you're looking for great wires try picking up a set of Magnecors. They run about $65 for a NA.

You could do that. I bought those from pelican and in six months they turned to crap. actually I made a post on it. The spark plug cables was the last thing I would think it would be since I just replaced them. I would spend the extra money for the original ones.

Got a cap and rotor and coil from Performance, the clewett wires and bosch plugs from pelican. I think I paid a lot less than half of your $650 quote

I've used magnecors for years in VW's Land Rovers and my 944. Never a problem.

I wonder why 968 wires are cheaper than S2 wires... aren't they the same?
