replace them when they wear out. Yeah changing the wires after 10 years isnt a bad idea.

k, but how do i know if they need to be replaced? and are all the "high performace" ones worth it? like the RB kit or these ones with inline capacitors and stuff?

ULTRA wires are good. I dotn know much on the US companies.



As for the ones with WIRE grounding, i would stay clear, personally. Even though we sell them, i dont recommend them on rotaries..



If you get a miss-fire, change spark plug wires.



Spark plug wires on at least the FD seem to be changed less due to the GREAT placement of the wires. I would change them as the same as any other car, like you change your oil and your plugs.

which set of spark plugs tend to wear out faster? leading or trailing?

they dont really wear out in that sense. They should be changed at the same time.
