I read up on magnecor's website and they seemed to say all other performance wires zaps performance from magnetic intererence except for theirs and NGKs

For my set up above, should I get the NGK blues for $71 or should I pick up a set of 8.5mm magnecors for $100 on ebay?

There is a lot of info for the magnecors, but i can't find many reviews for the NGKs

Such as:

Magnetic interference (i'm guessing they do well enoguh on this)

How long they last

Conductivity (From Magnecor's site, seems like most other brands have better conductivity than magnercor's, so i'm not worrried here)

What do you guys think? My set up is not that intense its a light NA tune. But maybe, its worth the extra $30 to get the best plug wires possible?

NGK blues are 40 bucks on groupbuycenter.com, at least for S14's.

do a search for NGK stuff, and you should find a website that sells the wires, plugs, and O2sensors. NGK all the way. In the 8 years of performance tuning, I've owned Magnecors, NGK, Accell, MSD, and hands down, the 7mm NGKs are the best.

Yeah, i typed "NGK wires" into google and that group buy center came up. I was so happy to see it for $40, then i noticed it was for s14s...... :(

Thanks for the input, looks like NGK has the same idea, to supress Magnetic interference in their wires.

chances are, you're not going to notice much or any difference unless your stock wires were really in bad shape (beside th pretty blue color)...b ut I'd go w/ the NGKs
