    I'm not talking about their generic length leads, im talking the kits they make for individual cars.

    I had topgun leads on my alfa v6 and they fit as good as the factory bosch leads, even the boot design was better!

    Are you sure that they were originals?
    In 30 years I have never seen one fail.

    yep they were originals. its a common problem on vr6s. maybe its due to the extreme heat from where they live.

    hm just looking at the topgun site. says for the vr6 they use a metal shielded boot as per oem leads now.. maybe thats new since i returned mine.. that was a few years ago.

    Are you sure that it's not just the connctor at the spark plug end that fails?
