Opinions on Karlyn/STI spark plug wires????
Just bought a set and I must say the quality is impressive and the fit is perfect for my CQ. Previous set I got from a stealer
didn't last more than 30K and started arching! Misfiring all over the place. Anybody use this brand before?<ul><li><a href="http://www.karlynsti.com/Folders/Karlyn_STI_Ignition_Wire_Sets.htm">http://www.karlynsti.com/Folders/Karlyn_STI_Ignition_Wire_Sets.htm</a</li></ul>

never heard of them till now
reading up about them though they look to be top notch in their products.
what did they cost?
I currently run magnecor 8mm's and they are very good for the price.
the karlyn's might even be better,then it all depends on the price.
I cannot find any prices in their catelog.
the plug puller (32z) looks great and of high quality, I'd like to buy that.
your coupe is super bad-***, a very clean example.

No arcing or anything...but I bought them locally for $180 3 years ago. Damn foreign car place around me is worse than the dealer some times.

yeow
that is to be expected though for good wires for the most part. OE ones retail are worse then that but more reasonable of course through your handy online places.
I think I paid about 70 bucks or less for the magnecor's about 2 years ago.
I just checked the price of their 8mm wires for the V6, ouch, $175 now!
looks like the karlyn's are a better price, then again he has the 5cyl, the 6's might be around the magnecor;s price and both are probably pretty close in quality.
