Hey guys, I've been doing a lot of researches on which plug wires to buy and can't make a final decision. I've nailed it down to two types: Toyota or Lexus. A lot of people have said that aftermarket is cost effective, but it's not as good as the OE. My question is, which is better, Toyota or Lexus? I know that on our Lexus, we have the "yakazi???" and a lot people have said that these are probably the best. But, what about toyota? Will it be the same brand? I called toyota and asked for the brand and they replied saying that it's just Toyota brand. I have a buddy who used to work at toyota and he said that he used to drive to pick up parts from carquest or local parts store and rebox them with toyota boxes. Is there any markings on the Genuine Toyota wires?
Prices: Lexus - $96
Toyota - $60
I need these soon so any input will help a lot. Thanks guys.
Just use Toyota Genuine parts. Just use 93-97 Supra NA as the model and you'll be fine. The only thing you can't really use is the timing belt. Somehow if you use Toyota timing belt, the engine will run rough. That's about it.
thanks for the input guys. How would i know if the wires are genuine toyota parts? Are there markings on the wires like how there is on the Lexus "yakazi" wires?
I got my wires last week. It actually is exactly the same as the ones from lexus except that it was way cheaper. The brand is "Sumitomo" Not bad for $60.
Stick with Toyota wires because lexus just rebadges them and charges more..Stick with factory parts because the aftermarket will only make your car run rough..
