Boy are you guys misinformed.

Beck/Arnley are made by NGK now. They old ones, yes they sucked. As long as the box isn't black, they are the NGK wires.

NGK/Beck Arnley FTW

Autozone carries 3 brands. Two are store brand (valuecraft/duralast), and the premium is Bosch.

I wouldn't put valucraft on anything...Duralast is fine for OEM apps. Bosch is overpriced for what you're getting.

I think both of my '7s came with Accel 8.5mm on them...but they're universal 4 cylinder kits so the wires are all about 6 feet long.

I work for Beck/Arnley.

Alot of things have changed in the last 2 years. We were part of a huge parts conglomerate, but are now independent. Now we ONLY use OEM parts (as in same thing that goes to Mazda, goes to us).

Just letting people know that it really is quality, that is why the Beck parts cost over twice as much as the 'store' brand!!

I got a set or RE Amemiya ones. They feel a hell of a lot better than stock. I did notice a difference. I was skeptical to spark plug wires at first. I would say NGK, I only have the RE ones because it was a gift.

Jacobs.I ran Bosch at first,just to get the car going,Then switched from that to NGK's.I have an MSD 6AL on my leading Coil now,so I wanted Better,and figured since Jacobs Make an Ignition Box,they would have good Wires.They Do.
