Magnecor is supposed to be very good, but a bit pricey.

magnecor are the best leads I have ever had, custom made to any spec you want, lengths and ends etc, and a superb service, they say you get what you pay for,,

Do they have a good turn around time or did you have to wait weeks for them?

You can buy all the bits to make your own leads if you really wanted. Here's mine that I made:  Not the cheapest option though, but you can always make more, and more... |

Not applicable in this case, but whilst I have found Magnecor leads to be good, I have had better results with the Genuine Ford leads! The Magnecors should see you right however. Don't Trigger Wheels make up HT leads for Ford Coilpack based systems? Whilst thicker leads may make a difference I reckon one part people forget about are the interconnects (I.e where your leads plug onto the plug or coilpack  . Remember that you do not want unsupressed leads on a car with ECU gubbins (something which I believe an EDIS based system will have to a small degree). |

Where did you get them from? I think you could get them cheaper, I don't remember paying that much for my set, and I bought a roll of blue lead off ebay suitable for Ford coilpacks. When I converted my V8 to Ford coilpacks, I bought two Ford Ka lead sets and cut them down, and used a normal pair of pliers to re-crimp the ends, traveller but worked! |
