Spark plug wires?

[Swoosh2]

Hey are spark plug wires worth getting? Also wondering if I should get a front and rear sway bar or just the rear 1?

Re: Spark plug wires?

I did some searching on this topic when I was buying my car as the guy was trying to use his new "performance plugwires" as a big selling point. From what I found you will really not see any change in performance by upgrading the wires. The only real reason for an upgrade would be for a high performance engine that requires a different ignition system, or your wires are breaking/falling apart. Spend your money on other upgrades first IMO

Found this online maybe it will help:

Swaybars are designed to reduce sway when taking corners, so actually think if them as anti-swaybars or anti-rollbars. By stiffening the cars chassis through the use of larger and stronger swaybars body roll is significantly reduced improving control and delivering precise handling. Most VWs come equipped with swaybars but are small and weak, by upgrading to larger, stiffer swaybars you will notice a huge difference in how your car handles. Typically you will want to install both front and rear swaybars to achieve the best handling characteristics.

Don't you have the 1.8t?? You can't change the plug wires becuase we have overhead coils....

Unless you replace the coils too!
