Hey guys. I am doing some minor upgrades over the cold northeast winter. I am dropping her about 1" maybe 1" & 1/2. I am also replacing all of the bushings with the kit from Ecklers. My third and final project is going to be a tune up. My question is this. I plan on getting this kit from Eckers....

Are these good or are there better plugs, wires, and cap/rotor combos to get. I have an 85 vette with 37K and everything is stock. Any info would be appreciated.

That deal at ecklers looks pretty good. Maybe buy the ignition module while you are in there.
