difference between 8mm and 8.5mm

[paul2508]

in the process of purchasing a set of magnacore leads
i see there is set types, 8mm and 8.5mm
whats the diffenence between them, other than the .5mm

[Muad_dib77]

the colour.

theory is that there is less resistance in the 8.5mm - hence a "better" spark and longer lasting cables w. less heat development..

that's the theory afaik.

I don't see the need for them myself. From memory they're dear enough.

[Muad_dib77]

There's no NEED for the 8.5mm

..yet.. they were the ones I bought

Nope..Only just had them installed.
,,Expecting the car back any day though, just waiting on the final a-ok from Paul Nolan.

and Densos is the way to go, for sure!

Denso K22 Iridium plugs with 8.5 Magnecor plug leads

[colm_mcm]

Do you notice any difference with them seb?

I know you'd notice if they were faulty but would you really see any benefit from them?
They look nice, fair enough.

[Sebastian]

For the sake of having performance parts on your car for a little extra in price .......I could see a difference in Before/After

I immediately noticed a difference with new magnecors and plugs. Car sounded better and was more responsive,

[Muad_dib77]

I think you'll feel a difference if your plugs need a refresh aways...

..if you were to replace a fresh set of 8mm leads and a set of say..bosch ultra mega titanium plugs..with densos you probably wouldnt see much, if anything, in the way of improvement - however..

if you are replacing - replace with the best you can..
