NO! Do not degrade yourself by putting parts on your car that are undoubtedly worse than whatever you have on your car! They will put the cheapest peices on your car that you will be lucky to be trouble free for a year or less! I have NGK 8mm plug wires and they still run and look new after a year. One just broke, but I'm hoping to get it replaced. This may sound bad, but my friend has a Probe (oh no, he said domestic again!) and he had three of four wires pull apart on him during inspection. I gave him three of my original oem wires to put on his (3 off the back which are the shortest, fit) and his car ran better off my old wires! So, spend the extra money."You get what you pay for." You'll hear that many times around here! In conclusion, nothing they will do is anything you can't take a 1/2 hr and do yourself, it'll cost more, but you'll feel better for it and your Max will too, trust me. Mine has never let me down, I carry a fire extinquisher and jumper cables for other people, not for me!
