Post where to buy Magnecore wires

Hey Gang,

Iwas following the thread regarding wires & in looking at mine I think its time for replacement.
I did a search for Magnecore & basically came up with there web site & pictures of cars that have them on.

Is there a supplier that you have prefrence to,
or do I go to my local speed shop & see if they can be ordered.

Also what can I expect to pay?

Thanx,
Rich

Hi Rich:

FWIW, they are always on the shelf here as this is the only thing we use anymore.

I got my Magnacore 8.5MM wires from Windward Performance Products in New England. I paid approx. $130 for a set a couple of years ago.

About $140 for the 8.5mm wires. I'm sure they'll be able to set you up w/ the right size for your application.

I called Magnecor directly and bought the wires from them.

I agree with FelDel!!

We've been beneficiaries of Steve's knowledge and expertise. Without knowing what he charges for a set of Magnecores, try to quantify the value of what he's shared with us. Even if it is a few bucks more than somebody else, ask yourself have you learned as much from them? If the answer is "no", then he deserves your business. And I post this NOT as a satisfied customer (yet), but as a grateful recipient of his educational and informative posts.

I agree with John;

Steve's advice is worth so much more than saving a few bucks. Remember, the reality is your not paying for the wires, you are paying for the service. The wires are just the final vehicle by which the service is provided, and Steve's decision to help us all out proves his intent to provide the highest level of service. Think about the cost if you had to pay for every question your asked. Figure $5.00 per question. How much money has he saved you on this forum?

Not even a customer yet, just very impressed by his willingness to contribute!!

Will be a customer with my next need!!!

Very satisfied R/S customer

Living here on the edge of the earth, Steve's help and guidance are invaluable.
On the orders I've placed with Steve. I've always been treated fairly. And I ask for some weird stuff...LOL.......

Steve and the staff at R/S keep up the good work.
