MSD leads .. who does them for our AU xr8's?

BZINGA · 17-03-2012, 08:56 AM

Basically as the title says, looking for a set for my ute but who do people use and what price are they roughly?

galaxy xr8 · 17-03-2012, 09:38 AM

I'd like to know myself aswell.

BHDOGS · 17-03-2012, 09:44 AM

There's a place in w.a that makes them up and there bout 250/300 a set seems to be the going rate for Windsor leads all over priced I reckon when I get some
I'm just gonna go eagle leads and be done with it

Ladiesman217 · 17-03-2012, 09:45 AM

I too would like to know where to get some good leads from as well..

That's the place a1 hi performance

For the price, and the mess around - just buy ICE leads, Justin @ tuff car parts will help you out.

BZINGA · 17-03-2012, 10:25 AM

I bought MSD coil packs so thought matching leads would be better but don't mind ICE .. Are they still based in Moorabbin?

XR27 · 17-03-2012, 11:15 AM

I ordered MSD leads from A1 in WA
Yesterday, they cost $235.
they had to make them up, did it the
same day and have all ready posted them.
Will get them tue/ wed.

I ordered mine from A1 as well about 15 months ago very happy if you have MSD coils it makes sense to put MSD leads .My mate tried putting standard leads on MSD coils and the leads were popping out

I wasn't going to use the standard leads that's why i started this thread to see where people are getting them from and rough cost.
Looks like A1 is the most popular and everyone seems happy with them, i would've thought someone in Vic would be doing MSD leads though.

nothing wrong with eagle

macman · 17-03-2012, 10:13 PM

I've currently got MSD leads on my TE50 - from A1 High Performance too.

Anyone got opinions on the Top Gun ebay specials?

MGGT RAA · 18-03-2012, 06:22 PM

how much do they go for macman??

macman · 19-03-2012, 01:11 AM

The Top Gun ones are about $160 plus post.

My MSD ones (which are admittedly very good quality and suited well with the MSD coilpacks) was $230 IIRC?

Top Gun leads are junk and their service isn't all that great either, I had a set on my old AU that I knew were not performing (could see shorts in the dark etc) and weren't that old. They weren't interested in helping out and wouldn't even consider testing the leads to see if there was a problem.

experienced exactly this also.

madmelon · 19-03-2012, 03:46 PM

I've used A1 in WA for the MSD leads too, very happy with the result. I picked black. Had them about a year now and got some nice heat boots from the US at a reasonable price (can't remember exactly what I paid for either but I know it was pretty good)

The Monty · 19-03-2012, 04:12 PM

Has anyone tried Queensland Ignition Leads? He makes them to order, in any mm, and any colour you want, and can deliver, or pickup. I think a set of 9mm in blue for my AU6 was $85ish, made to order. They are great if you want the connectors on different angles, or shorter/longer leads, as he will make them as you please.

BZINGA · 19-03-2012, 05:59 PM

I've ordered MSD from A1 in red with 90 deg plug boots after looking how close these Hurricane extractors sit. Price is $235 + $15 express post to Victoria.

Quite possibly, Its been a while since Ive been to him, I really hope not though..

BHDOGS · 19-03-2012, 11:00 PM

My windsor has 8.8mm spiral gas leads on it at the moment from a mob in victoria has never missed abeat and only 160 a set might be worth a budget try he says he makes them up himself

XR27 · 20-03-2012, 12:04 AM

Got my lead from A1 in the post to day, will fit them
Tomorrow.

galaxy xr8 · 20-03-2012, 12:37 PM

What angle plug end's are people using on these new lead's, I believe all are 45 deg apart from number 5 which is 90deg, or anybody have Herrod's header's, what have you used ?.

SVT8 · 20-03-2012, 01:49 PM

iv got a brand new set of msd super conductive leads sitting under my bed if anyone is interested.
