As above really. Always used Lucas but suggestions welcomed.

Ordered these but only swapped the dizzy cap, which made a big difference. Rotor arm is an original Lucas so didn't swap it out.

A lot of the stuff being sold is just rubbish now so its hit and miss whether it works so be careful, but this guy seems to be developing ignition equipment for a few years now.

Is the 'check compatibility' option a bit dumb? I have checked against a '97 Chim 450, AND your '97 Griff500 and it says both are not compatible with that item.

Never take too much notice of compatibility as its a RV8 as long as its either serp or pre serp you cant go wrong. BTW mine a 92 430BV and Mrs FFG owns the 500. His stiff seems good and fair value.

I changed mine recently and bought them from Tim at ACT. I havent put many miles on the new ones yet but when I changed them, it showed how sensitive the RV8 is on the spark it receives - the old ones had mildly visible wear and the car ran noticeably smoother after changing them.
