I put a set of the Blue Ignitors from Rapid Parts in my '89 100Q
about 2 years ago. I love them. Rapid parts deals basically with
German stuff, mostly VW/Audi, and they really know their wares.

They are guaranteed for life (and show no sign of wear after 2 years),
and are made quite well. The material is a heavy duty teflon or silicone,
or something like that, and the joints look quite solid.  I'd recommend
them as highly as Bosch any time at all.

My set was about $100 with a loom. I hated the loom they gave me,
so I took it off and snapped the wires into the factory loom
bolted to the head.
