i took off a plug wire and im not the best at guessing how bad they are, but this one is pretty stiff, so does that mean i have to replace them? the wires are about 5 years old too, thanks

I've never had wires make it anywhere near 5 years on a Subaru. Are you experiencing hesitation? I'd probably replace them anyway with Magnecors.

well the thing is that its my moms car. she wanted me to check them. she has a 2000 mercury cougar, and the thing has over 100,000 miles on it and it has no hesitation what so ever, starts up on a few cranks no problem, but by the sounds of it she should replace them probably

The Magnecors are a little pricey, but they will last. I've had store brand and NGKs and they last a year and a half at most. I don't know if it's the waste spark ignition that wears them out (builds resistance faster) or what, but my old GLs weren't much better and they had mechanical distributors.

does anyone know about bosch wires?? i heard that on some cars they are just crap and dont last.
