Magnecor makes 3 main sizes of wire. 7 mm OEM equiv. 8 mm Hi perf.
wires, which are by far the most popular, and the fat 8,5 mm race wires.

You can get the skinny on the wires at http://www.magnecor.com

The biggest advantage to the 8.5mm is the thicker insulation for heat
resistance, and more EMI resistance for ECUs. They are all good wires
and very well reputed. 

8mm for Spiders is under $35 on the mastrosubaru.com website. They are
tough to beat. 8.5's are around $58.
7's are black, 8's are blue and the 8.5's are red. there is also a 10mm
wire.
Magnecor promotes the 8.5 and 10 as the premium high perf. wire.

The choice of caster arm bushings depends on the use. I am carrying the
SuperPro compliant urethane bushings for this app. no rot...firmer but
not tough on the car or driver. 

mail me at mailto:mastro@domain.elided if you have specific questions, I'll
try to help. I'll be at Sebring til Sunday night, so no answers til
Monday...
