Default Where can I get spark plug wires?

How does no one stock NGK wires? I called the dealership and its going to be fucking $62 and they wont be here until Thursday. Welcome back to owning a DSM.

The car is kind of hesitating/misfiring when under load so I was going to do the obvious and replace the plugs and wires.

Does anyone know where I can find OEM wires locally? Cheaper the better!

I would check the plug first, make sure everything is connected nice and tight and see what the datalogger is saying before going and swapping out wires.

Im not sure the last time they were changed. From what I read on VFAQ and oil that is leaking and gets into the spark plug well can cause the wires to short. The head is leaking a little oil either from the valve cover gasket or the cam seals. I was just going to replace them for self assurance. I know the gap is supposed to be 0.28 so yeah. I might just try replacing the plugs with NGK BPR7ES's and making sure they are gapped correctly.

Thanks BoosTb4BroaDs Ill check out bay are imports.

As for the data logger I dont have one just yet, so I cant do that.

*edit* this is ender.
