RE: 97 Jetta GLX Coil Pack & Tires

Well Warren, you are a little behind on the tires. The SP8000's are a very
good choice. I would be getting those next week, but availability is not
what it used to be. I will probably be going with the Yoko AVS
Intermediates. That's just me. Unless I hear more good things about the
SP9000's. Just my thoughts.

Hey guys (and any gals),

Looking for some advice here.

Just got my wifes 97 Jetta GLX back from the dealer after taking 
it in for a check engine condition and rought idle in wet conditions.  
The diagnosis is a bad Coil Pack.  It arcs out to ground in wet weather.
The dealer is looking at $420usd installed.  I am looking for advice
about installing myself and any aftermarket sources.  I have already
emailed Mike Potter at www.parts4vws.com.

Also looking for recommendation for replacement tires.  The current
Eagles GA's have finally died.  Last I followed this stuff the Dunlop 
SP 4000's were a popular replacement.  Looking for something not full 
on performance, decent handling, good wet weather and wear characteristics.
Not concerned about snow performance as I use snows.

Please email me in addition to the list as I am on digest mode.  

Thanks,

Warren
