Ignition wireset....

I am looking to buy an igntion wire set for my car and I need a little feedback from you guys.

The two brands are the Bosh & Beru combo or the Karlyn/STI brand. What do you guys have? What have you guys used in the past? I need to know the bads and the goods...the Bosch & Beru combo is $98.46 shipped and the Karlyn/STI is $102.54 shipped. I got these prices from euorpartsdirect.com and the guy recommeded the Karlyn/STI brand over the Bosch & Beru combo. Bosch doesnt make the connectors that go to the spark plug directly from the coil; thats why it is a combo with the Beru company.

Thanks.

Epdate: Okay, since it seems like no one has had any experience with these, can anyone suggest what set they would go with? which would you buy? Or is there another brand that you ususally go with?

Thanks again....

how much is OEM?

With your price quotes being nearly identical it makes it hard to decide. Which one is better? I like the name of bosch, the other name doesn't sound good for a german car...real science.
What is the Mercedes Benz price from the dealer? Or call Caliber Motors, they give 25% off parts, they have an ad in The Star and a web site, they may be Mercedes of Anaheim. If it is in the same ballpark as your other prices...I'd most certainly pick OEM.
Let us know what you decide and why.
