I haven't decided which way to go myself when I need to replace the stock wires. But plug wires are really not a performance item. They either work or they don't.

I just ordered a set of RB wires as well.

and I just changed my coil packs to the newer version. when I took my old one I can see the burn marks .....

It feels like my car pulls harder now, with the new coil.

Lets just see if the wires and new plugs will smooth out the idle like the others said in this thread.

I own a set of RB wires. It made the car feel smoother and better top end.

Been running the RB wires for at least 8 months now. No issues and I think it did smooth out my idle just an RCH more, but I never suffered from rough idle anyway.
