ok, pardon the n00b-like post, but what exactly is the benefit to these? is this for boosted people or something? if its a cheap performance gain, then be sure you'll sell a ton.

you benefit preaty much nothing, RKSport makes them, people who buy them are either ricers get like 10 hp gain on the butt dyno.... everyone else gained nothing and some even dfound they rust up quick and went back to stock. They are "less resisatnce for better spark" but they don't do much of anything

I have them, did not gain hp so to speak, but a nicer smoother idle. My have never rusted. Never heard of them rusting either. It is all small things together that makes a difference.

beryllium doesn't really rust, i work with it every day, just be careful if you make beryllium shavings.........they cause cancer

Copper and copper alloys form an important group of metals with many excellent properties. They have very good electrical and thermal conductivities, are easy to fabricate and include some alloys of exceptional strength (notably beryllium-coppers) and corrosion resistance. The characteristics of copper and copper alloys have resulted in extensive use of these alloys in a wide range of applications.

I have 3 2.4's currently. One of which has them the others do not. I would like to see some pictures. I also would be interested in testing. One other thing I would like 2 sets. One for the for the coils to plugs, and another for the coils on the inside of the housing. I have been thinking of picking up a extra set because there is 4 on the inside of the houseing and they are the same size as the ones in the boots.

Are these the same as the ones listed all over EBay?

I have them.. they're equivalent to better spark plug wires on a car that doesn't have IDI. My springs were from RK Sport and they're less than 25% of the resistance of the original springs.
