What he said - I have these on my vert - very good leads - plenty thick and flexible - plus they come in blue and red (not sure about other colours).

I\'d have to say depends on your Budget, I\'ve had second hand REa Leads of E-Bay before now that where very good, i would recomend you don\'t get stock leads second hand becouse the ends tend to come off.

magnacor are very good as are new stockers, I have recently put a set of 10mm red Magnacor leads on my FD but they will be getting changed for another set shortly as they seem to be too short and are too fat to go in the stock route (but saying this T2\'s should\'nt have that problem)

The leads in red come in 8.5 mm or 10mm. Although Reworx say on their site that they use 10mm as they are superior even for light modifications, Pip at WGT will tell you they are unneccessary unless you are running really high BHP performance (say 500bhp+ I guess).
Always found Magnecors excellent (never bothered with the lower core size blue ones as only the red ones eliminate interference - check Magnecore site) even got a set on my Hyundai coupe (vast improvement to stock).
For the Rex I got the 8.5 mm off Pip (8 bit as have a 1993; 92 up) whilst up there (they go on tomorrow).
I kind of wanted the 10mm (always like to do better; aiming for 400bhp) but I think Pip may not generally stock them.  8.5mm or 10 mm usually around same price.
Interesting comment about the flex issue of 10mm...hmmm i\'ll stick with the 8.5mm for now.
