So are the Mangacor wires in BAT worth it or the Motorsport 9mm the best economical choice, ie are the Magnacor's really worth paying the 137.50?
 
Auto zone special work just fine for me :p

But cerally, I would go for the motor sports
 
I have the Ford Racing (Motorsport ?) wires and they are serving me well. I cannot recommend them though because there have been a lot of reports of early failure, especially more recently. Ford has discontinued them.
 
i went with lifetime warranty from autozone... easy to replace and they work.

plug wires either work or don't... i don't go by any other hype.
 
I'm looking at the Talylors and they offer 8.2's in 90 deg & 135 deg. and I guess there's also a set that are OEM, but I thought they were 8.0. Which did you get?

I just installed the autozone bosch wires 50 instead of the 30 dollar cheapys lifetime warrenty. I was gona get some better ones but after reading all the forums with how picky the duratech is on wires, and how people say theve went through nemerous sets a lifetime warrenty sounds good. oh yea 8 mm fit in factory mannor and grey
 
I am looking for some wires, and the store by me offers Motorcraft, and Autolite. Any suggestions on which one to get? Or should I go with Bosch. I don't want to spend too much because I can't afford to. I bought Motorcraft plugs already. How is it doing the firewall three?

Well, you can't go wrong with replacing Ford parts with Ford parts. Motorcraft and Autolite should be your first two choices. The firewall side isn't much harder than the front side. Just replace each wire one at a time so that you don't put them on the wrong plugs.

Autolite's at Advance Auto or whatever in your area. $55 and have been great. Everyone will tell you something different. I have the 9mm wires on the other car with no issues.
 
I think I will go with the autolites from Advance Auto right down the street. My only concern was if the length of the wires would be different from what I have on right now.
 
I just had the crap scared out of me. I was doing my plugs and had already put in 5. I noticed on the 6th that the threading was longer on the new plugs. The ones I was taking out and the owner's manual recommended were AWSF-32F and the ones I was putting in were AGSF-32FM. I called the dealer and he said they were changed to the new ones but they seat the same. I just wanted to give a heads up about this!
