Does anyone have an opinion on Standard Spark Plug Wires?

Standard Ignition Products makes many OEM parts used on factory cars and trucks. I would put them on my car.

But spark plug wires? That has been such a tempermental part on Auroras in the past. skifast are you seeing those Standards on eBay? I'm always watching auctions waiting for an OEM set of wires, and all that ever pops up are sets by Standard and Caroll.

OEM or NGK plugs only for the Aurora. OEM or Belden wires too.

I think they have sets of OEM on GM parts for like $88 + shipping. Maybe its for 4 wires, or 8 I'm not sure. I recently had my plugs and wires replaced, and the cost was around $350 for all. Considering the wires and plugs cost around $150, $200 in labor wasn't bad at all, is it? The Oldsmobile dealer down the road wanted $1,200 for the job...
