Default spark plug wires not fitting???

just picked up some different wires from pepboys the other day cuz i noticed my old ones weren't fitting right on top on the cylinders, not on the distributor. when i put the new ones on, they did the same thing. made sure i got the rights ones and neither of them sat all the down on top of the cylinders. i have a 94 b18c motor. anyone else have this problem??

Yeap, crappy wires. My magnecore do the same thing.
Apparently it's a common trait among aftermarket wires.
My oppinion is stock
Aftermarket ....

if you are a honda owner there are really only two wires for you. first being oem, and second a set of ngk's.

well you can opt for the spoon wires but they are just steel braided ngk's with grounds. 250.00 worth of bling bling.

Actually the ngk wires rate pretty bad. They compare to autolite plug wires. Really the only wires you should use are stock.

theres really no need for higher "spark" plug wires if you dont have a upgrade ignition/modified motor.

OEM is way to expensive, just get some aftermarket wires.

HOnda wanted to charge me $299 for an o2 sensor, went around the corner from them and picked one up for $60

OEM
