Whatever you do...DO NOT go with Elite Spark Plugs. If you place an order, you will never recieve it.

Thats a shock to me. I bought mine from Elite. I got the wires with the shielding in about a week and a half. They were very friendly to talk to. The quality was very good as well.

I would buy from them again without worries.

You are probably the first person I have ever heard of to say that. Myself included, they have screwed over quite a few people. I paid for a set of the shielded wires for my LT1 about 14 weeks ago and still have not recieved a damn thing. Nothing a Paypal and Bank dispute will not fix.

i just got msd plugs for my 96 ws6. most of them seem like they are just a snug fit when going under the headers, it seems almost impossible to route over top of the headers and on the valve cover. is there somethin im missin? especially on the passenger side, routing those wires is a huuuuuuge bitch

I'll prolly just order the Pacesetter long tubes coated of course and the y from texas-speed. i'll probably just have all of it sent to my house in ok and when i get back we can put everything in at the same time and then take it to eds. i'm thinkin about orderin cam stuff to but i kinda want to save for some AFR's or Trickflows. i dont know man, so much stuff and so little money. i'll probably have the wheels sent to my house here in Arizona tho

I placed an order 3/31/06....I was informed of a 2 week backorder which wasnt a big deal for me, but its June and still nothing yet! I ordered them early to make sure they would be here for my header install which is sometime after June 10th. Contacted them via a PM about three weeks ago, and they assured me they would be shipped out Monday which was at least 2 weeks ago. very fusterating, all this for Plug wires?

Speaking of elite...I just got my dispute info back from the bank. I won that battle. They never sent out the wires, waited a month. Told the bank and they took care of it for me.

I agree, if I don't get them soon I will have to dispute the order or do what ever it takes to get my money back. It just sucks money is tight being a college kid and I spend what hard earned money I have to get nothing....

My situation is very similar, but I placed my order back in February. I am working on the dispute as we speak.
