do u have to use 8mm or can u use these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-97-99 ... dZViewItem

Those prolly wont fit due to the boots and coil connectors (its made for an Eclipse). I have direct fit 8.5 mm Magnecor's. Audacityracing says anything over 8 is not really going to do much.

That's true. Anything over 8 is not going to add up in performance. Did that before and wasted money.

expensive but good. they are 8.5mm if you can find some 8mm they will be cheaper.

on ebay the 10.2mms r cheaper than if u purchase the 8mm off ebay... if the wires r 8.5mm does it mean the holders r 8.5? because bought short ram and bulbs on ebay not made for the leganza but the socket type and watts were the same and the bulbs and short ram fit the leganza

As I said before. The 10.2s you are referring to are designed for an Eclipse. The connectors will be different and will not fit on your ignition. The ones I saw on ebay are direct fit for the Leggy. Someone else mentioned the wires he bought from a different site. Talk to him about it.

Whether they are cheaper or not, anything more than 8mm is a waste because it does not add to performance. When I wasted money, that was on my old car. The current one is still using the stock 7mm cables.

ture it wont add any performance if it is big enough.
larger diameter = less resistance.
voltage will flow through less bottle neck.
also, the shoter the wire the better.
make sure it is also spiral wound core.

This I know. 8mm is the maximum. More than that, it becomes maximum marketting

.2 more performance

Ok. quite simply, anything over 8.5 mm does nothing. The 10.0-10.2 mm wires do not conduct any more electricity or lower resistance, they simply have thicker plastic jackets so that in racing conditions, the plastic won't melt. Since your Daewoo will never see any hardcore race environments, you are throwing away money to extra plastic.
