Moved to General Forum.
I don't trust those wires.
If you don't want to spend 80 get some accels only 35 and they work like a champ.

I prefer Magnecors. Pricey, yes, but they do their job well.

I've heard Accels are really good and they seal up the spark plug wells really well that oils don't get through it.

PLEASE SEARCH:
again, we have all answered this exact question now over 6 or 7 times in the past 2 weeks.
so here is my opinion,
Go with NGK wires from www.roadraceengineering.com
those are great proven wires and RRE is a great dependable shop. many others will say: Magnecore, and ACCEL. and those are great wires also, but again i have no experience with them. but NGK's are a little bit lower in price! GOOD LUCK

The accels seal way better than my magnecores ever did.

You all talking about magnacraps?
Personally I don't like magnacore wires as I have already had them fail on me once and the company themselves admits they have problems with DOHC engines.

Ive had magnacores for about a year now w/o any problems. Im pretty happy w/ them, although its a risk b/c like someone mentioned, they have said they have problems w/ our cars and DOHCs in general.
