Which brand spark plug wires?

A quick if not thorough search did not help me.

Possibly a bit picky, but I am not happy with the spark plug wires I just bought. Yes, I got the cheapest set and got what I paid for. Basic and totally straight, they don't conform well to the engine bay and were probably designed for several GM four cylinders cars while they happen to work for the Rx7.

What I want is a set that has angles (60 degree?) similar to stock on the ends. I didn't think I would care but I must admit it looks cleaner and makes it easier to work on other things without the wires getting in the way.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Seamus

I have cheap napa 7mm wires, not meaning to wreck your thread but is this adequate? Personally I would get the wires from racingbeat.com although they are really expensive...

Ignition wires

In my humble opinion, anything less than NGK, or stock wires is a waste of money.
Our systems have a tendency to tear up electrical components such as plugs,cap, rotor and eventually wires.
I personally run Accels 300+ thundersports, they have a outstanding fit to them and are extremley well constructed. rx7doctor

Arrived this week and just installed them. Nice fit. Good price. Just what the doctor ordered.

Thanks,
