Dont waste your money on "performance" HT leads........use good old Ford ones, they do the job fine.

Agree, Ford leads are going to be as reliable and provide the same performance as a set costing 4 times as much!

I always thought these special leads were a waste of money. Has any1 ever noticed any difference with these on compared to standard ford 1's?

You will NOT get any difference in performance from HT leads. The only difference is the larger hole in your wallet.

Not arguing the case but if there's no performance difference why is there such a price difference? Are they more expensive so produce or something?

Motorcraft are Ford's own brand for engine parts etc, that's why they use them
