they are 10.5mm, would they be alright to use, or should I look at 8mm ones?

I think any performance wire is overkill on a stock ignition. With any wire you really don't know it's performance without testing them. Some of the over the counter cheaper sets are actually better. A lot of it is just marketing crap.

well, since alain isn't here, i'm gonna post what he would say.  Any spark plug wire that you get will not add any horsepower or any benifit to a stock engine, assuming you are stock.  also, i had 9.8 mm on my sebring when i had it and they didn't do anything that the stock ones didn't do.

Personally, I would say that those are overkill.  Remember, there is only so much voltage can travel through the air in the spark plug gap.

Great for the price though, and good if you want the looks, and will help some if you plan to upgrade your ignition later on down he road.

What ignition components would I upgrade to make the plug wires most useful? Also I was thinking about picking up a MSD Coil Pack, are all 95's round pin?

If you are going to do your ignition, here is what you need to know:

The benifits of upgrading are there, but not really noticable without further modifiaction.

You will need:
MSD 6A Ignition
MSD BLASTER 3 coil 
MSD Vibration Mounts
MSD Coil Bracket and the other mounting hardware
Modified Distributor Cap (make one yourself, to add the connection to the new coil)
NGK copper core spark plugs are your best bet
You might as well get a new rotor and distributor cap, but practice the mod on the old cap first.

You are going to be looking at a few hundred dollars, and there are only a few benifits.

-a bit more powerful spark
-you can now make slight adjustments to your timing

This is good if you want to run on premium gas and want to tweak the timing a bit (premium takes longer to combust)

Good luck with things

Pardon my noob, but how do I make a new rotor and distributor cap? I thought only the V6 had cap and rotor, do you mean the coil pack where the plug wires connect to? Also the vibration mounts are for mounting the 6A Ignition right? Wheres the best place to mount the 6A ignition? I will need the MSD coil pack when I'm done with the stock one right? All this is a learning experience for me, I just want to make sure I don't mess anything up lol

Only the Sixes have the rotor.  Cory has the V6 and probably got a bit confused.

Does what I have to do to upgrade the ignition on the l4 differ a whole lot from the V6?
