Hey guys, there are a TON of options for spark plug wires, from 25 bucks to 135 bucks, what is a good set for the money, I'm looking in the $50-60 range unless someone has had good luck with something cheaper. Just interested to see what everyone is running, the car is pretty stock so nothing to major is needed.

Thanks, Josh :talon:
 
NGKs are great for there price (under 40 I think)

I personaly had a set of magnacors (sp) and loved them fit right, fimly connected when you put them on, and looked decent also.

Now I have a set of custom MSDs casue of a few changes I made to my engine. But have yet to do anythimg to the car but start it.
 
I have Magnecors on right now.

13k on them and they are arcing through the insulation already.

I'm going to try MSD next.
 
This may also help people decide on wires.. its been posted before but ill do it again as this question comes up a lot.

MSD Ignition 8.5mm Super Conductor (40-50 ohms/ft)
Accel Thundersport (150 ohms/ft)
Taylor 8mm Spiro Pro (350 ohm/ft)
Aurora ignition wire set (400 ohms/ft)
Vitek Performance Cables (their web site does not mention resistance, but John Monnin measured them at about 800 ohms/ft; the label under Vitek's braiding says "Magstar Gold 8mm High Performance S-4 Stainless Steel Mag Wire" - thanks John!; Magstar wires are manufactured by Wiretec)
Wiretec Magstar Gold (800 ohms/ft as measured by John Monnin)
NGK Resistor Spark Plug Wire Set (2600 ohms/ft)
Mitsubishi factory wire sets (3000++ ohms/ft)
Car Quest brand wire sets (3000++ ohms/ft - Thanks to Bret for measuring these wires.)
Magnecor KV85 (6000++ ohms/ft)
 
Yo, for the money you can't beat the Accels, $42 from summit or just about anywhere else. You even get a choice of color(R, B, Y), for the little bit of ricer in all of us.
 
I'm digging up this thread because I wanted to input that this thread was VERY useful to me as i'm sure it is/would for anyone else interested in spark plug wires. After my search for "plug wires" I found this thread to be the best.

Especially David15151's post with resistance ratings on the sets . . . wow is all I have to say. Those numbers are probably the most useful bits of information regarding plug wires.

Anyway bottom line is there should be a sticky with that information somewhere if there isn't one already.

i'm doing a coil on plug setup from SBR :)

each plug gets its own coil, more power, and no need to buy wires, and new coil pack :)

engine bay looks cleaner and less chance of wires interfering with t-belt
 
I'm using Accels, 17 bucks brand new on Ebay.

I dont see why you would spend more. Well, at least the majority of us.
Unless your really modded of course.

Ooo, a tuner made of money.

And not really needed on a DSM.

That's why they're covered. Both the belts and the wires.

Still, whatever blows your skirt up.
