Magnecor 10mm wires, good?

Ive seen a couple people on here have these, and I was wondering how the fit was. I just got some Accels, and they keep popping off the coils. Do the Magnecors fit good? Can someone tell me where to get them? A part #? I wanted to get some Taylors from Summit, but they have to order them, and I dont feel like waiting for that crap.

Magnecor are great plug wires. I have heard others say that they are crap and cause ignition problems and spark problems, but I've not seen any evidence of this. I was told that the 10mm wires however are a waste of money, as the KV85 [8.5mm] that they sell deliver the same intensity spark, the same electromagnetic supression, and the same everything except the 10mm have more heat insulation. That's why I bought the KV85, and while I haven't noticed anything better or worse, I'm still happy they're on my car.

They work great for me. Also, Pettit Racing dyno tested an entire MSD system on a race car, and it did NOT produce even 1 more HP. Maybe its cuz its a race car, who knows. Just a little .02 on ignition.

But, I still plan on adding one, if anything it'll keep everything burning cleaner.

I have the 10mm Magnecors on my car, and I've never had a problem with them. They stay on during any kind of driving and come off easy when changing the plugs. I got the 10mm because they're huge and look a bit intimidating.

"THOSE are your plug wires?!?!?"
