Do they do anything performance wise???
Anything noticable or improvements on the dyno?

how about 0.0001 kw ehehehe, i've got them but don't have dyno result, it does "feel" the respond is a bit better, but it could be my imagination after spending the money.
The one i've got are 8.5mm which i was told the biggest it will fit to a FTO, the stock one are 5mm.

I got some Jap made Ultra cables, they look thicker than stock, but i duno how thick they actually are...they are coupled with ngk iridium max (lasts over 100k km)

upon fitment, i immediately felt the difference. more responsive
i got e plugs changed at 100k then at 110k i chged the cables...
i hope its not my brain thats faking me like FTO338...hee...
btw, FTO338, where n what cables did u get?

there is the potential for gains but they'll be small... if you do notice a gain your original leads were probably worn out and not functioning properly anyways... (or so i've been told is the main reason)...
if you couple new leads with larger coils and other bits you may get more power again...
its all a bit hard to say without a dyno result... i'd be skeptical of claims made by companies... but there is the possibility of gains by replacing worn cables

The leads themselves are not expensive
About $134 from Autobarn
But I suppose fitting them is a different story...
