Probably won't make any difference. I have the NGK cables.

Here is a good article:

I bought the super conductor wires, procap and blaster coil from MSD, and got ngk iridium temp 7 plugs. I hate them all cept for the plugs!
Bad fitment the wires come of the distributor all the time!
My car actually felt like it got slower via the Butt Dyno

My personal review:

I've found that initially when I tested the Spoon Sports grounding type wire I didn't notice any difference whatsoever.

Infact I blatantly declared them to be a rip off item.....

Soon afterwards, I added my DIY earthing kit (VTEC sol, tranny, cyl, head, alt, distributor, Tbody) and felt happy that the car responded a little better for the 20CAD that I spent (or about literally 12USD at the time)

What I've never been able to get my car to do even with a full ignition freshening (brand new gapped platinum plugs, OEM cap/rotor) was to remove a low rpm stumble.

I borrowed a set of these Spoon grounding wires again and low and behold, from back to back testing, I am now changing my tune. Power delivery is noticeably smoother and dare I say it, stronger.

I still think they are expensive pieces to pick up new, but if you can find them used or can afford them new...

They are a good buy based on my little experiment..... Spoon grounding ig. wires PLUS an earthing kit works in my books.
