i got these about a week ago, seems to work really good the ends that go into the coil are really heavy duty will try to take pictures, its tripple core, they seem to make the idle a lot smoother and the throttle response is alot more crisp and it pull a lot harder, i know it could just be all in my mind but hey i dont mind. i got a voltage stabilizer comming also hope it will help a little also.

No offense, but unless you are mis-firing, wires give no difference at all unless you have a performance ignition, running a bigger gap, running NOS or using F/I.

I have to agree. It's not like there's "not enough spark". Cause there is. I'd only replace them if they were cross-firing. :)

I have a " performance ignition " and it gave no gains on the dyno.
lol
MSD DIS with NGK wires + NGK plugs.
I did a dyno run with the system active, and then installed the bypass plug and ran it again, no change in hp or tq... lol
pointless.
Unless you change the variables... ie = boost or nitrous ... then making any changes to the NA ignition setup is a waste of time & money.
I did however, have a custom ground wire kit during the dyno runs... so if that may have helped, then it did its job.

i understand what you guys say but i figured for people looking for some wires and wanted to get new ones here it is, so i wasnt expecting a gain just a better feel. when i press the gas it doesnt lag which i really llike. thats it. just like throttle bodies bigger isnt better you have to do the intake the head and alsot he exhaust side also not just the intake or throttle body. so i bough the wires it feels better, i like it. just wanted to pass my opinion. thats it.

I think what people are saying is that unless there was something wrong with your old wires, what you're experiencing is the "placebo effect". You think the wires will make a difference, so you feel one. Huge wires like your 10.2 mm ones aren't any more effective than thinner 7-8 mm wires, they're just harder to install in the stock space. If you car's running well, that's great, but it's not because of the size of the wires. On the upside, at least they weren't any more expensive than a set of quality aftermarket wires like NGK.
BTW, their "ignition power" claim is an out-and-out lie. I would never buy any product that makes such bogus claims.

That's good to know. I've wondered if it would make any difference or not.

most likely, your stock wires were a bit worn out, so the feeling you experience is due to the car running like stock again.
=)
It is amazing what basic maintenance and upkeep can do for a car.
That is why I always change my oil at 2k miles with regular dyno 10w30 oil.
I change my spark plugs every 6000 miles or so (Using regular copper NGK plugs $ 1.70 each).
My car just hit over 30 k miles, and I am looking to change the manual trans oil, but I'm having trouble finding straight GL4.
=(
Nobody has it. and the dealer only carries it for " drop off service " ... and you all know that I don't like to pay service fees for stuff that I could easily do in my own driveway while I drink a beer or 2.
