Default what spark plug wires are you guys running?

I have gone through two sets of MSD wires and they broke on me twice. I want to try some Japanese brand wires like NGK or Ultra. What kind of wires are you guys running or recommand?

yeah I have a set of MSD conductor wires connected to a MSD 6A and MSD Blaster SS coil.. and my wires are already f*cked, last night I was doing a compression test, and there were sparks flying from half way down the plug on the spark plug wire, like it was leaking. So now i'm gonna change.. to what, I don't know yet =\ NGK Powercables sounds nice

I got a set of Magnacore 8.5mm Competitions with the MSD 6BTM and they work great. I wouldn't go any bigger than 8.5mm, the 10's don't fit in the guides.

I would go with NGK stock if you are on a budget.

On the turbo Civic, I run a totally stock ignition (not even sure what my ignition timing is, just a little less than 1/2 way back on the distributor), with stock spark plug wires. Seems to be doing me fine.

Although I have always used MSD wires and never had problems with them, and IMO they are the stuff, I've switched to NGK because they are dirt cheap, and you'll never feel or see a performance difference between them and other wires.

Spend your money smart!
