November 1, 200520 yr what brand of ignition wires do you buy ? I need new wires so I was wondering what brand you like best?
November 1, 200520 yr this topic has been covered twice this week. you didn't mention what car/motor you're installing them on. if it's any newer motor...i would guess you have a 2.2 or 2.5 then you want to install Subaru OEM wire only. the only aftermarket wires i'd even think about installing on the newer motors are magnecor: http://www.magnecor.com (you can buy them cheaper elsewhere though). some on the board say Subaru OEM wires only. either way you choose, don't even try some other brand or something from the parts store, bad idea on these motors due to the deep wells and difficulty in seating the wires.
November 1, 200520 yr make SURE they are seated no matter what you get. that's the tricky part with those deep wells.

It's a 03 legacy wagon 2.5 not even 3 years about 45k miles without any problems except for the wires....is this normal? if the dealer sells the exact same brand wich is "Packard" then I rather try some other brand. I had "packard" on other makes before and I didn't like their performance either. I don't know if I can buy your brand in canada!? thank you all
November 2, 200520 yr magnecore's are over $100 and do nothing for performance there are many cases of these wires CAUSING more harm than good with poor connections, popping off, inability to stay in place. with a 2.5... go OEM all the way set of 4 OEM plug wires - $29-39 Jamie

November 3, 200520 yr How much do you think I get them shipped? I live in Quebec Ca. thanks Isn't there a dealership near you? I could have sworn reading that there's a whole pile in Quebec.

I think the last time I checked at 1stsubaruparts.com last year (I consider them to among the best for prices) they sold OEMs for around $60.
