I just replaced my 1.7 plug wires with Fyrebraid plug wires. Just got back from a test run. Can't believe how much better it runs! Plus I like the red wire look too! They look great!

I'm looking at buying new plug wires soon, where do you get these and how much are they. If you say they are worth the money, they're probably more than usual.

Sounds great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I'm always here, let me work out the issues I'm having now before any longish trips though.

Not much more than stock at all ! I thought from the title they would be over 100 bucks!

Are they spiral wound wires, or just standard core wires? Are they larger diameter then stock?
If there was a change it may have just been you needed new wires. Whats the difference between these and other aftermarket wires? Zach |

I like the fact they are stiff and don't just lay on the engine. To answer all your questions, here is the link to their website. I am sure it can answer all your tech questions. http://www.karlynsti.com/Folders/Karlyn_ST...n_Wire_Sets.htm Terry |
