I havent used them...(YET) but at 10.4mm, you will have to get a big wire loom if you plan on looming them. and im not sure if youre actually going to need a wire that big.

I have had good luck with the Motorsport wires and they are less expensive.

I have never had a problem with fms wires. If you guys would stop yanking on them, there wouldnt be a problem

I'm very happy with my Livewires from Performance Distributors. I noticed a difference in smoothness over the FRPP wires I had previously and these even have heat sleeving built right into them but they are a little pricey.

A Trickflow nut in our car club has the wire set. Comparing them to MSD, Accel, or Ford Racing they feel cheep.

I bought the Accell 300+ race wires because a few of my friends have them on thier cars, and havent had a failure out of them yet. They are enough for my buddys 11.74 LX, its enough for me
