I use the ones with the real Beru ends...for whatever reason I feel like I always have a hard time getting them all the one there and there's no space to get any leverage to twist them down...never really get a good solid click...but they work well. I had a magnecor set on prior and they seemed OK, the boots on the end would rip very easily though...

Vaughan Scott turned me on to the Kingsborne wire sets, which are OEM spec, fit, and finish. The PUB Racing team uses these wires exclusively in their ITB cars. We're currently running a 10% discount on them through Sunday.

I just bought OEM via Pelican (Karlyn-STI). Great fit and finish. Beru connectors. I don't know if it is my imagination or not but the car does seem to idle smoother. Then again it could just be psychological - for $166 a set I'd like to believe I could feel some difference!

What Dan said; we used to run Magnecor wires, but missed out on too many races due to the ends popping off. We finally got clued in to the Kingsborn wires, and they're flawless - great build quality, but with original Beru connectors so no more misfires due to popped wires.

As I understand it, this is even more of an issue with the 944's than the 924's...

When it come to spark plugs wires I've always use OE all the way nothing else but I got to admit that I'll go for the Kingborne & the price seem to be decent .
