brand ?
IMO , nothing beats OEM honda spark plug leads. Its has been proven that many aftermarket leads are WORSE than OEM

LOL 999 automotive in brisbane sells them, the brand is KLS i think. My friend bought a set for trial but it doesnt seem to make a difference only takes up more room in your engine bay and adds big bling!
Bling bling mutha fooker.
I reckon most of them just have thicker insulation and the coils(?) in them are just the same thickness.
7 core? such a thing?

Its the Resistance rating that makes a good spark lead, not the width of the cable.
By a new set of Honda OEM leads and get them chromed bwaha

Also, if you have aftermarket extra thick gauge leads, some have insufficient insulation thickness. So you will get current leakage from the lead to a ground (your head and block). When you have leakage, it'll perform worse than OEM leads and your electrical ground will fluctuate, making your electronics go unstable.
The advantage of Honda OEM leads is RELIABILITY!

im using splitfires..
i find the driveability much smoother than OEM honda 1's

Probably because the original ones needed replacing ;)

i've got them on my car doesnt make any difference. I measurered the resistance and the oem where 2.2k and the resistance was 450ohms so go figure. The most basic formula in electronics is P=v*i, so go figure........

dosent do anything i had obx ones before.. just maybe add bling but i think the oem ones are better

I think that should be E = I/R for the most basic formula in electronics.

ahh not quite. The basic formula is P=v*i, where p=power. Trust me i use these formula at uni every day

Correct
P=v*I
V=I*R
I=V/R
R=V/I
Where:
P=Power
V=Voltage
I=Current
R=Resistance
Trust me, I use this everyday at work. :p

cool. Now that we have discussed that OEM leads are far better and more effective/reliable than any aftermarket parts ( thanks to Hondas anal technicians) - lets close this up and never mention it again :)
for leads , Go honda OEM :)
