Default we should do a group buy on Magnecor KV85s

well I need a new set of wires, anyone else want to go with these?

Retail is less than the 8mms of BavAuto and Bimmerworld.

www.magnecor.com or 248-471-9505

anyone want to set this up for a GB with Magnercor directly?

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

I run these on mt 1971 Land-Rover.

These are hands down, the BEST wires made. They do not interfere with the electronic engine management systems, which is far more important than the gimmic "inductive mega-spark crapola" wires out there.

They may come with a lifetime warranty as well, so multiple sets is not neded.

I'd have trouble installing 1 set on 2 cars, so multiple sets would be necessary in my case
