My complaints were:
1) that the shaft is too long (so the top doesn't correctly seal)
2) the rubber is too soft so it squishes up and is very difficult to snap them on to the plugs.

Interesting, Steve @ Magnacore claims that the boots are the exact same as the original Ford boots. From the same manufacturer and all. Anyone have a set of each to compare?

Exactly the same complaints here. Searching back some posts will find the thread discussing this when I had my misfires.
Misfires started happening for me 1 month after installing, because of the boots not sitting flush on the valve covers. I replaced my plugs with Denso Iridiums, properly gapped, cleaned inside of boots thoroughly, and added dielectric grease. No misfires since. (knock on wood)
But with the poor fitment, I am worried it will happen again. I didn't have time to contact Magnecor about the fitment, so I just left it, but if a replacement is possible, that would be awesome.

Thats the point, some do some dont. Tourige, can you measure the depth of your spark plug hole to the top of the raised edge?

With a wire in one hand and a plug in the other, it was much more difficult to get them to snap on than the factory wires... or even the bosch wires I ended up getting. The connector in the magnacor would squish up into the rubber, requiring persistence and wobbling the wire top to get them to snap on... while holding both in my hands.

thought this was natural... shows how much I know. I was getting a misfire in cyn 1, but when i swapped the wire out and reset it it went away. all other wires seem to be the right length.
