Yeah, those rear mounted ones do go for a lot more, but amortized over the mileage, it's still rather insignificant.

Don't get cheap on these. I tried such before (Kragen parts) on my 245 ... the fit wasn't perfect, so the rotor went off kilter and promptly ate itself up. Good thing I kept the old one in my car. Store refunded my money, but still.

I apply the same to OEM Volvo plugs - yeah, at about $10/set, they cost a few more than NGK or Bosch, but I've got 40k+ on mines and they're still going good. That last (and my final) set of Bosch (made in India) suffered premature erosion by 15k.
