I have the ford ones and they work fine for me. I have heard stories about them being crap but I have never experienced it.

I used to use thew MSD wires, and they were alright. I then switched to the motorsport wires when I worked for ford (gotta love the discounts) and loved them man.

No problems on my end with the FMS wires! [patriot]

I like the "live wires" plug wires. They are the best that I have seen. I've seen and heard of a lot of trouble with the FMS wires though I know they work for some people. My second choice would be accel 300+ wires

Bosch life time warranty wires from AutoZone have done me good. $35 and life time free replacement if they get burnt, fall apart, etc [burnout]
