Does anyone have any experience with these?

I'll be needing some new wires soon, so just doing some research first.

If you're gonna pay that much, then get a good brand.

IF they are half as good as they claim.. they are a good wire.. but having worked in the Media, I know for a fact that most ad copy is just there to lure you in. On the net, especially on ebay, there is nobody looking over your shoulder to make sure what you type is true. I mean, I could be a busty blond 21 year old co-ed with a web-cam asking for your credit card number so you can watch me play with myself...

Two words: Buyer beware.

And you can PM me your credit card numbers, I will get my webcam up and running.

But yeah, I would go with something proven to be good like NGK, Bosch, Magnecor, etc.

Get the PRD wires here on the site, they are fantastic.

Those 10MM won't fit under your spark plug cover.

Personally, I'm in favor of making my own with a large gauge and equal length wire. I'll probably get the Magnecore Race wires and build them.

Just get PRD or NGK for around $50 and be done with it. Basic NGK or even stock wires will perform better than you'll ever need them to.

Cheers guys! That's the kind of input I needed. I thought they sounded a lil' too good to be true.

I might look into the PRD wires but I can get NGK ones locally... They just don't come in red which kinda sucks.

Mad-Machine, I always assumed you were a hot blonde chick... Are you saying you're not? sad.gif

Hi... I have those wires installed on my 1999 Tiburon.... REDZMAN say that it won't fit, and he is correct... I just installed after I cut some little plastics that keep the wire in line all the way of the spark plugs.... I dont have my cover..... I also have the MSD and you will feel the engine a little smoother.... I have those like 2 years, and have no sign of any damage.....

BTW... the wires are a little short... like 2 cm's... but you can install it if you keep them in order....
