Differences 7mm-8mm?
I take it our standard plug wire is 7mm. The wires I got are. I notice 8mm wires as a mod. But, what exactly are the advantages of 8mm over 7mm?

the current will follow the path with less resistance.
8mm will have less resistance then 7mm
but realy no major diff unless you have a lota mods

If both wires were made by the same company, the only difference is the thickness of the insulation.
The largest difference you would notice is that they are harder to fit into the wire looms on your car.
