Post Spark Plug wires

Anyone have a good suggestion on where to buy Spark plug wires and connectors at a reasonable price. I keep seeing around $175. 77 911 3.0
Thanks.

I just changed my wires and thats about the going price. My advise is to not skimp on wires. The guy I bought my 911 from had cheap wires installed and they were totally fried after 2 summers. My new wires are braided with grounds. Check out performanceparts.com.

Vertex sells nice wires with the shielding and the grounds, check them out. I installed them about 2 yrs ago with no issues. In a lot of cases the ends are the bad part, not the entire wire, that might save you some money if you want to spend some time testing the wires.

Several 'listers have posted positive things about Magnacore (sp?) wires as well, might be worth a look.

I have been using 8.5MM Magnecore wires and connectors on my two 911's for years and am very pleased with their performance.

If interested in Magnecore wires, contact:
