Coils/Plugs/Wires

I know that this combination has been talked about before, but I wanted to know if you need to change all of them at the same time. I had mine changed ~40K miles and now I have around ~75K miles on the odo. Actually, I found out from my dealer today that I only had the coils and plugs changed and not the wires. I read from these posts that the OEM wires are crap. I found some on Rotaryfx for $69 and they are supposed to be better than OEM. U think I can get away with just changing the wires? Or is changing all three the best way to go.

I would change all 3, your 35k miles since your last change so the plugs definitely need to be changed might as well do the coils with them. The wires obviously need to be changed, maybe post a link to whatever wires you're talking about.

Go here http://www.mazmart.com/PartsList.aspx?id=38&n=NEW&m=6 and scroll down you can get coils wires and plugs for $315.

unless you're going to make a DIY out of this project and post your step-by-step instructions, then I suggest deleting this thread, or ask a mod to move it to the troubleshooting or tech garage forums
