Default plug wires from Kingsbourne?

In the archives looking for spark plug wires I read this:

If the accel wires don't perform as you'd like, a fairly inexpensive option which as worked very well for me can be found here...
Spark Plug Wires for Defender, Discovery and Range Rover
(go w/ the 8mm if you do)

Went to the Kingsbourne web site and selected "IGN 789 Kingsborne Spark Plug Wires Ignition Wire Set" for $28.99 and it says "this item qualifies for free shipping", but when I go to check out it wants me to select a shipping method and the range is $17.54 to $72.05. Perhaps I don't understand what "free Shipping" is but I thought it would mean shipping at no charge; apparently you have to order $100 worth to get "free shipping".

Anyone else bought wires from these folks? And are their 7mm wires OK? (I thought I'd stick with the original wire looms).

IDK about the shipping. I have their 8mm wires and they're good.

If the items in your order which qualify for 'Free Shipping' total $99 or more, your order ships FREE!

Got it. Still $17.54 seems a little high to ship a wire set.

Anyone tried these? Don't care about the "racing look" but the 600 degree spec looks good.

I put STI wires on about a month ago and they seem to be working good -- so far.
