Stock Toyota leads from Mr Revhead.

They seem to be sufficient for 500+rwhp turbo mr2s.

if you dont mind spending the $$$ on buying iridiums (cos they aint cheap) then why not go all out and get either sum champion TRD or Top Gun leads. If the car is still using factory parts, might pay to do a new dizzy cap and rotor while your at it, then you wont need to worry bout the ignition side of things.

You'll find most bigger leads dont have any larger core than stock ones, just thicker shielding. I have 10.5mm Eagle leads on the 2, and the core isnt much if any thicker than 7mm Champion ones.
Iridiums are a waste of time IMO, unless the plugs a bitch to get at.
