Default Bosch Vs. OEM

Ok. I need a new distributor cap and rotor. First tune up for this on my '00 civic.

Now, someone told me NOT TO go locally and by these aftermarket because they have a tendancy to be VERY crappily made. I duno.

Anyway, I wanna do this today ... So before I go on my hunt to buy a new Cap and Rotor, is it even worth the wait for a Bosch Cap/Rotor or just goto autozone and by there "Wells" brand aftermarket crap. I am NO fan of autozone, but my cap leads inside are SHOT TO SH*T! and I wanna fix it, the car is jerking like an animal and ruff idle'in on me.

Thanks All.

Though I'm not your friend, I would've told you the same thing. Don't cheap out on ignition components.

I use the Wells cap and rotor all the time and have no problems with ignition.

I've never experienced problems with the Advance, AutoZone, Napa, etc. cap and rotors, but I'd go with OEM.
