Need opinion / advice on parts

[Recon427]

Alright, instead of studying for my exam tomorrow I looked up some parts I need for my ti.

I found:

Water Pump for $40 +$10 for shipping on eBay:

Cabin Air Filter (2) for $20 +$5 for shipping:

STI Spark Plug wires for $97.50 +$8.50 for shipping:

The prices [for the water pump and especially the cabin air filters] seem pretty good. Any thoughts? The filters go for $40 on autohausaz.com and here they are half the price.

What do you guys think of the spark plug wires?

Thanks,
Tony

most ebay cabin filters lack the tabs to snap into the holder. You should try cleaning your cabin filters instead... Try running them thu the dishwasher.

FCP Groton is a reuptable seller, though. So it may be worth a call.

A water pump is not a place I'd look to save $20. Pelican has Graf pumps for $60. Add in a thermostat (or $15 of something else), and it ships for free.

I've heard that knockoff cabin filters often don't fit the ti right. Something about a lip missing to hold it in place.

Can't say anything about the plug wires.
