Default Ignition Wires?

I have an 03 Disco and am doing my own 60k service. I am looking to change plugs and wires but it looks like there are several choices. I'm looking for good quality but I don't need overkill. I have found ignition wire sets from $70 to $230. Any opinions? Also, any good places to get a deal online?

You can get STI or Magnecor wires from British Parts of Utah for a decent price. Both are good.

That would be my suggestion also, both are good, the Magnecors are a little better.

I'm probably going to go with Magnecors BUT I thouht I would call NAPA Auto parts and a few other big part stores, to see if they might have them locally to pick up. NAPA said that their $39.99 NAPA set are their premium brand and he thinks they will perform the same as OEM equipment. I don't want to mess around with sub par equipment but I do like a deal. Is there any way that we overkilling with the $100+ wire sets?

Absolutely. For $40 you can get the OEM Bosch plug wires from amazon.

I have a 2003 Disco so the Bosch are out but I did find several in the $40 range NGK and Prestolite. Any opinions on those? Again I will go with the Magnecore if they are worth 3x the price.
