Garbage, have had 2 cars comein that had them with strange ignition issues, swapped in a factory set of wires and cured the problem. Overpriced and do not work, your better of with a new set of honda wires, msd, or magnecore's.

i've got them on my setup and they work great. i plan on upgrading the entire ignition setup soon with an MSD distributor, coil, and SCI-L. the wires were on the motor when i bought it so i really didn't pay for 'em...but i have nothing bad to say though...

There have been countless accounts for close to a decade of how these wires have improved gas mileage, throttle response, and have found torque in various ways, from just installing them and running them with non-resistor plugs to more technical things like allowing wider gaps to be run for a bigger flame front in high-compression setups, blah, blah, blah.

Matt Moreland from speedmachineracing.com ran them with his 181whp NA sohc-


Imitation is the ultimate form of flattery- Spoon Sports makes design copies of this Nology product and through some research, I have come upon the information that Spoon has been presented with a cease and desist order based upon several international design patents Nology holds. Spoon Sports is known world-wide to subscribe to the notion of function over fashion

here is their piece direct from the Spoon japan website-


On the same token, there have been people or shops who reports an instance or two like above, where the wires caused interference, or this happened, or that happened….but, like anything, there is never going to be 100% satisfaction with a product born from free-enterprise. Seriously, between you all and I guys, I believe there are people out there who would turn down a hands-free, no strings attached instant orgasm "just because". If you have issues, the have a pretty comprehensive warranty to back them up...

Now, this is not saying NGK's are not great wires; i personally love NGK's, they last, work great and the price is right, however, for that extra edge, if you are the type who indexes spark plugs, or always looking for an edge, or is looking for some added benefit, get HotWires.

well, Keystone Automotive, Summit, Pro-Motion, etc etc all sell thousands opon of thousands of sets and have for years...i doubt if your claims were true these distributors would carry such an inferior product and carry such a liability! The product would have been sitting on the shelf for years if what you say is true.

Beside those obvious facts, i've had experience for some time now with HotWires and have seen exactly to the contrary of what you claim.

Like i've mentioned, NGK work great, Magnecore have had some boot and terminal issues, but for that extra edge like i've described earlier, go with the Nology HotWires.
