    Almost 3 years now. Absolutely zero issues. Mine are generic ebay design, not Bosch.

      I've been told this is a no-no. Something about the internal resistance. Never really looked into it.

          if you haven't done so, Contact JakeB for his COP kit. I think it's about $150

            GM wires will probably work... I think I paid like $30 for a set of 6.
