they are very good wires and tend to last a very long time. I personally believe they are much better made than virtually anything you can get at Ricer Zone etc

i had a set on my car that came of off a friends car that measured at a perfect resistance and had no physical damage, other than the dirt. i cleaned them up and ran them until i parked the car.

i really do agree that they are better than the cheap wires you get at the parts stores. personally, i see NO reason to upgrade plug wires. as long as you're running wires that aren't out of spec (internally damaged) or are arching (externally damaged), then you're fine, keep them on your car and spend the $60 elsewhere.

The Honda dealer says that the NGK wires are better than the Sumitomo wires, We installed a set on my buddys G1 Teg, and he says they made a difference from his 8mm Crane cams on his ZC........

lime green paint aint a bad way to spend $10,000. I thought those were APC stickers and the 3A racing decal? Didnt that come with your bookshelf wing?
