Opinion of brand of Plug wires to get
Ordering up a bunch of maintenance stuff and plug wires are on the list. I searched around it appears Magnecor 8.5mm's were popular....I say were because I havent found many recent posts on this.
Any updated thoughts/opinions would be appreciated! Thanks

This place is a joke.
Stick with the OEM style BOSCH wires. They can be found online for about $170/set.

they're different lengths. Each wire is labeled with a letter and the corresponding letter is stamped on the valve cover next to the plug.

I am have been running a set of magnacore for about 6 months now with no issue. You also do not have to worry about tearing them when pulling off to do other jobs as I have had mine off several times with no issues.

Do the magnecor wires have tags on them? or Should I compare by length?

My set came with no tags on them, so I compared by length. Pretty easy and straightforward.
