Serious man

Pepboys can get the NGK wires... >$30 and no shipping provided you've got one local.


And they are made specific for the FC

I've got a pair and have never had a problem.

RETed, I'll save you the trouble.

The conductor is still only 2.5mm at best. You are paying for 8mm of shielding. In a standard automotive ignition system you will never see enough interference to justify 10mm wires.Just make sure you have the wires properly separated to prevent crossfiring, make sure they aren't resting on the body or anything metal. This is all you need to make your standard 7mm NGKs work just fine.
