As for leads, don't get TopGun as I've heard people have had many problems with them. I use Eagle and I've never had a problem. Don't bother getting thicker than 8mm as they only have thicker insulation.
As for plugs, personal choice really but at the moment I am using the every day NGKs and they are perfectly fine IMO. Change them every few 10,000kms and you'll be all right. You can get the NGK Iridiums and they are meant to last forever but you check on them every now and then, not cheap. JMM use Autolites which apparently give you a few extra kws but they don't last lone, about $18 each IIRC.

I'm one of those who has had problems with Top Gun leads. Usually I won't warm someone off a product, or I'll give it a second or thrid chance, but these leads were awful. They all fell apart within a week!

I second Chicken their. DO NOT BUY TOPGUNLeads As I have also had the missfortune of buying this totally s**t product and only had them for 9 months before I had to replace them all because the sleeves kept coming away from the leads. I recommend;
Eagle 8mm leads or Bosch Leads As far as Spark plugs Champions are also s**t. But any other brands are good such as NGK Bosch etc

I'm currently running eagle 9mm leads (for the hell of it
 ) and NGK Type R plugs. My car seems fine with these and havent had any problems. Prior to this I had Bosch 8mm leads and Champion plugs, and again had no probs. Actually ran plugs and leads for 80,000kms before change which was a little long I know  , but still never had any problems

Ive found bosch leads to be very good, but if your after something better and longer lasting, go straight to Magnecore
As for plugs, Im using NGK BKUR6ET, not cheap ($17ea) but they have 4 conductors for better spark distribution and last ages... sales guy told me 80thousand kays, but I doupt that. |

Using HEI/Ice Leads Very Good And Using NGK Iridiums But About To Change Over To Autolites

Im currently using the Eagle Leads as well mine are 9mm and i think they do the part. Im also using ordinary NGK plugs and they seem to be fine. I have yet to try out these Iridiums or Platinums thou.
But yeah i recommend the Eagle leads and NGK plugs.

would go with bosch leads and NGK plugs, wouldn't recommend champion leads though, hear they don't last very long, especially if you have LPG.

bosch wellllllllllllll top gun make bosch leads shhh we are not meant to know this as the also make champion leads . If thats the case then, they probably dont have the same Quality Control Officer checking the Bosch leads. Because the "Bosch" leads dont have the same issues as the "Topguns." The lead in itself is not the issue just the fact the friggin sleeves and ends are poorly put together and just seem to come away from the lead so easily, which obviously renders it useless.
