Yazaki, or mega spark(plug wires)?

Right now I have "yazaki" spark plugs in. They came with the car(bought about 8months ago). But my idle has been really bad, it's "prefiring", not misfiring, running really rich exhaust, hesitating, ect after I changed the spark plugs. Did it again, no avail.
But someone suggested they may be "arcing" out. I don't have enough money for good quality plugs right now, but checkers has some "mega spark" brand for $20. Would it be better to go for these now, and maybe solve my problem(could I loose performance?), or wait 3months to get the money to buy the good quality ones, and possibly loose another injector?
(earlier I double posted, and couldn't delete either of them, both becuase the board was stuttering REAL bad, I apoligize for those, didn't mean to double post)

Re: Yazaki, or mega spark(plug wires)?

So should I try install the "mega sparks", or will that just be a waste of time and money?

Arching afterwards? Hmm... thats what I'm trying to get rid of now with the stock ones, but can't afford the NGK ones. They're like $40-$50 on ebay... do you think I should buy them there in a month or so?
