I just bought a set of Bosch OEM's for the 5-cylinder for about $78
at my local parts place. You might call them to ask if they have a
better price, and if they ship. Norther Foreign Auto: (603) 889-8144.

But, I use the Blue Ignitors from Rapid Parts, and SWEAR by them.
I just put them back in last night, pulling the Bosch OEMs (I had
busted a boot and Rapid Parts repaired them for me, lifetime warranty).

They ride smoother and produce less radio/speaker noise than the
Bosch's. They cost about $110.

Only my cat shares my opinions, and she clashes with the blue wires.
