I've had good luck with Magnecor. Or stick with OEM.

My Magnecores are going in the trash. After about two years the connections are so loose on the sparkplugs they pop off while racing. I had to buy spark plug hold downs to keep them on.
Any 7mm or 8mm wire should suit your needs perfectly for the street.

You don't have to use the shielded/braided wires ... the '69 - '73 style work just fine.
I have said for years that the Magnecor wire ends don't fit properly or snug enough!

I run Magenecor KV85 (8.8mm dia) in my 911 and they fit extremely well and I have never had a problem.
I have been running Magnecor wires for around 8-9years in some pretty serious track cars and never had any issues as stated by Plavan. They have excellent customer service too.... So I recommend Magnecors. Yasin

I have Nology's on both my 911T and my 912. My only complaint is on the 912, the air boots don't seal up the tin worth a damn. They must work as the 912 has almost a 300 duration cam and it idles at 750-800 even with how rich I have it without fouling plugs (i'm waiting my LM-1 to arrive), running a .035" gap with bosch supers. Running stock gap in the 911 with the cdi ignition.

Are your plug wire hold downs the ones that Porsche used on the old RSRs? I've been looking for those forever. Pelican used to carry them and they dropped them. any suggestions?
