I don't mind searching

OEM or NGK

I recommend just using the NGK replacement wires... I believe they are blue in color. But your really dont need to upgrade wires unless your stock ones are damaged, or you are running an aftermarket ignition system. Upgraded wires on a stock system won't really do much if the stockers are fine... they would be just for looks.

I have the Magnecore "red" on my car, but they look very old and I have no clue how old they actually are.

Where is the cheapest place to buy the stockers?

I have Nology wires and I've had no problems with them. I didn't notice any difference after installing them so I think you should just get a cheaper set of wires because I believe wires have no affect unless heavily modified.

I have a set of new stock wires that I purchased about two years ago and were on my car about 100 miles. I don't have the coil wire though. If you want them, make an offer.

if he doesn't pick these up real soon i will, as long as they are in mint condition.

No problem. I'll just check tonight to make sure they are at my house and not my parents.

I'll get back to you tomorrow with a pic if you like.

I read somewhere that when you're running a mildly modified setup nothing can beat the OEM wires, I read a post a very long time ago on HP.com, and the guy had the dyno plots and the horsepower curve looked much smoother(less misfires) with the OEM wires than the other 2 namebrands. Now don't start a flame war, it's just what I read. Peace
