All depends on how much you wanna spend, the msd are a little more costly, but i oppted for them.

For the money and the performance, I would suggest the Ford Racing 9mm, alot of people use them and there are very little complaints. I'm in the same boat as you right now, I would like to get the red FRPP 9mm wires, but I'm still trying to find a good reason to spend 45 bucks on plug wires. What's the reason for changing yours?

the reason is i am going to completely change out my ignition system to msd, coil, dist & 6al box. the wires on the car now look old, possibly original, but i doubt that. that is the reason. does fms or msd make wires that are black in color, or just blue & red ? thanks.

That's a good enough reason for me to order some too I suppose.
