its time to change my plugs and wires and i know there are different size wires you can get.... 8, 8.5, or 9mm. i was just wondering if there was much of a difference between sizes and if anyone had any suggestions. thanks.

i'm still waiting on my 9mm wires from gefracing. if 8.5 was any cheaper i would have gone with those but they were the same price so i got the 9's. i don't think size matters much on a stock engine and ignition system.
i was told that the coil inside isn't thicker in a 9mm, it's just the layering around it is thicker to protect from the spark jumping across to the adjacent wire. maybe someone else can correct me and elaborate more on it. |

unless you have a very high performance engine the regular ones will perform just as good as any. Since the high performance ones are the same price.... pick some in a pretty color

JBA wire sets are good.
That's what I am running.
