Yeah exactly. I have heard more bad reports than good ones about the Top Gun leads unfortunately. |

My Top guns have done over 60,000k on gas without missing a beat.
The only issue that I have heard about them is pulling the ends off them, sorry to say but I have seen that happen with just about every brand of lead on the market....

The topguns that were on my EF motor weren't too old, but i changed them last night with some bosch ones, and the improvment in very satisfying. much rather the bosch leads

I've had stock, bosch and current top gun leads....to be honest I can't bloody tell the difference LOL.
TopGun haven't given me any headaches and neither have the Bosch ones. So I would say any will do really...just depends on who has a better quality control procedure for either company. Bad batches give bad names. phong =P~

The quality of the bosch leads arent that flash.
I remember buying a set from Super Crap, and finding only 3 leads would clip onto the plugs and the rest had the metal part moulded too far into the insulator. I took that set back and bought another one and the same problem. So now i have a set of new bosch leads that have been chopped and modded just to have them fit. The 9mm Eagle leads i took off were very good and were low resistance leads.... like 1ohm per lead, whereas most other brands are 7 - 10ohm. |

That could have been the batch problem thing that phongus just mentioned. But each to there own preference i guess. I have pretty much always used bosch leads, and i've never experinced a problem, and the ones i fitted last night are of excellent quality. Thats not to say that are the best though, because i'm sure they're not, they just seem ok to me.

Yeah the bad batch sounds the case. I checked out the rest of the packs there and they were all the same, hence the reason why i gave up and modded them to fit anyway.
Should ring bosch for a whinge me thinks... |

Been running Top Gun 8mm Leads for about 3yrs now and never had a problem. Have replaced spark plugs twice in this time and all the boots are still good and don't move.
