    NGK VS Bosch spark plug wire set

    I had recently destroyed my spark plug wires trying to get the end of the spark plug out of it.
    So I went on to looking up online for a wire set.
    I saw NGK and Bosch.
    I was wondering what the differences, pros, cons, etc of these two and is it worth it to spend more money on the NGK set than to just get the Bosch set?

    Thanks.

      Bremi? I never looked into that brand. Always thought it was some kind of off brand. I think that's what I have in my car right now. I believe the previous owner installed them but the spark plug ends fused to the boot. I tried removing them but ended up stripping the ends off.

        when you put the new spark plugs on, did you remove the tops (a resistor) from them before putting the wires on? im betting you didnt know to do this and this is why the wires didnt work

          ...but beware! The last set of plugs I bought had a permanent top. They cannot be removed.

          Anyone need 4 plugs for an M20 that won't work on BMW wires??

          ...and those aren't resistors...just caps...http://www.globaldenso.com/en/produc.../construction/

                    FYI, Bremi is the stock manufacturer.

                      Ooooh, Nice info guys.
                      I didn't know Bremi was factory.
                      The previous owner I got the car from said the wires were brand new.
                      I didn't check if they were Bremi or not but they were definitely not brand new when I went to change the spark plugs yesterday.
                      Everything was in quite bad shape.
                      Yes I unscrewed the tops off the new ones but they would not seat right because the previous spark plugs and the boot was corroded and when I freed it up.
                      All the threads were worn away from the rust.
                      I went ahead and bought a new wire set anyways because I was afraid that they would not get adequate contact.
