I was wondering if anyone else bought this and have them on their car? Are they any good?

No but MSD super conductor 8mm I have had and those are much less than when I first bought them. These MSD's kick lots of ass.

10.2mm is HUGE...Funny cars pushin thousands of hp don't even use that big a diameter. Unless something is wrong with your existing wires don't buy ANYTHING that big...even 8.5mm is pushing it over the stock 7mm. Besides they are trying to persuade u into buying the wires because they are "JDM", please don't fall into the hype that "JDM" means power. I've heard of ppl running 9mm on their hondas and frying the distributors, rotor, and caps because it can't keep up with the size wire they bought. So i'd advise against buying spark plug wires unless u have more than just i/h/e done to your car because your stock ignition is good enough to handle bolt-ons without mods like that. If u still insist on buying wires check out wires that are 8-8.5mm and don't go larger than that...bigger doesn't mean better

I concur, but I used those 8mm MSD and was very happy but they are just about useless w/out good plugs, I like the "rapidfire".

mine are 11 mms, and I have no problem with those. They're Crane Cams Firewire Series... It is a must if U have plan to replace the coil and the plugs with aftermarket ones (mine's still stock). And for those Funny Cars thing I believe they using bigger plug-wires diameter too. So far (all I knew) there are some 13 mm in the market...

But I never heard about replacing your plug-wires can fry your distributors/rotor/caps like U said before. It delivered better ignition because of they made from better material than our stock wires...

Go with the Honda manual, Haynes books are complete piles of shit.
