plugs? meaning spark plugs or you talking bout wires. I dont think magnacore makes plugs so Ill assume you mean ignition wires. From personal experience I have tried Jacobs, Magnacore, Taylor, MSD and cheapie autoparts store wires and have always gone back to the NGK stockers. Other wires tend to arc alot. Maybe cuz of the dual MSD 6AL I run but if the NGK hold up better and not arc with that kind of ignition I would have to recommend the NGK all the way. just my 2 cents.

I would recommend the stock NGK wires (from the dealer) OR Racing Beat wires. I run dual Crane HI-6 digital ignition and the RB wires hold up great.

Yah Im runnin Accel 8.8's and I ran into arcing quite a bit, I still get some flashover on my plugs to this day and a little bit of stumble at idle. Get this, my Mazda dealer told me they were unable to get 1st gen parts anymore when I went to order a set of NGK's and I needed some wires so I picked up a set of Accel's. Turns out they were to lazy to look it up in the microfiche and they do carry the NGK's I think Im gonna look into pickin up a set of the RB wires if the price seems right.

Foreing Car Parts in Dallas TX is pretty good about stocking rotary replacement parts. They may ship, just ask. NGK wires from them are about 35 bucks and they stock the full NGK plug line and KYB shocks. 214-946-4002

if you were running your where every lil bit of power counts, then get the more expensive brands, but for a street car the ngks are the best.
