i'd say every 60k IF you have some platinums or something, otherwise it really depends on your setup...and just check them every 10k...it's not that hard

does sucking action mean when you remove the plug wires from the plug you hear a click noise? and when you put them back on you hear a click noise?

if so, at the bottom end of the plug wire boot, there is a ring that goes over the plug body, just tighten up the ring.

changed my original wires at 65k for Blitz 9mm ones (nice blue colour) so they shouldnt need doing for another while yet. the old ones seemed in pretty good condition and i didnt notice any improvement over the old ones, i just managed to get the blitz ones dirt cheap on ebay ($50 new!!!) and also i'd never heard of anyone else with them so it was nice to have something pretty rare!!!!
