Spark Plug Wires

I need to replace my spark plug wires and decided I was gonna get low resistant wires to maybe get a better spark and gas mileage. I was wandering what everyone else had and what they recommend. Is there a brand i should go with or what not?

Thanks

I'm just running the base autolite plug wires with bosch splitfires, they work ok, not bad at all, just not the high performance stuff that I want, but hey, strapped for cash, these are alright, lol, but once I get some money, and next tuneup i do, I will spend some money, bc my truck gets paid off this month, and i get a 600 rebate check in january, so oh yeah, get some good stuff for the ranger

I bought some of the double silicone plugs from Autozone after one of the connectors pulled out on me this weekend when I was swapping the plugs. They seem to be of good quality and even had dielectric grease pre-applied which should make them easier to remove later on.

Unless you're running a high power ignition, there's not much need in using the more expensive wires.

JFarmer: Have had the overall best luck sticking with the Motorcraft wires and Motorcraft/Autolite double-platinum plugs. Check Rockauto.com for availability and reasonable prices.
