Jacobs plug wires

Anyone have any experience with Jacobs wires? I think the resistance is marginally less than the Taylor wires but they don't really cost that much more. I did a search and it seems like a lot of people like the Taylor Spiro-Pro wires from www.summitracing.com, but I can't figure out which ones to order for my car... Is TAY-77628 the correct part # for the Taylor Spiro-Pro wires for the FD?

I have not h ad first hand knowledge, but I did some research before purchasing my magencor. I don't know if radio interference is a problem with our cars. but I went with magnecor becasue they hav great RF suprpesion and I have a hks twinpower ignition amp. I know the taylor and jacob have very little resistence, btu they are cheap wires and do not supress the interferrence. I betted on the safe side, so I coudl be way off, but I couldn't get a solid asnwer.

Pull the boots off of your Magnecores and look at how the connectors are attached to the wires. the wire is just folded over and a connector loosely crimped on. Pull on just the wire and it will come off way too easily. Pretty disappointing.

I did, look at the stock NGKs they are even worse.

Strangely enough, I read through a couple of threads about the Magnecore wires and it seems they may actually had EMI/RF problems even though their website stresses the important of good EMI/RF supression... Any ideas on this? Also, can anyone verify part # for the Taylor wires? No one seems to have any real complaints about those so I may just end up getting a set of those.
