I ran the 5mm NGK's on my 5SFE and they were really nice. Everything fit so perfectly!! And they look so nice! If you are llooking for thicker racing 8mm wires...Magnecores makes them for the 5SFE also. Ebay it. It is as much if not more then the Nology's. I have heard, haven't experience, Nology's Hotwires. I heard that the built in capictators don't respond well to Toyota's like in Hondas. But check around. 5mm great if you are not running external coils. Anything other then that will be 8mm or you will risk melting your wires. You can buy a do it yourself set from Accel, but it won't have the square boot. Hope that helps.
OH BTW D Sport Mag has some info on spark plugs this month. Stating that copper is most conductive...but needs a bigger conduct point (bigger electrode) then platnium or iredium (which can be amde thinner and use less energy). I run coppers...if they have gold...I would run gold. Anybody who has worked with electrical...knows that copper conducts energy very well. You just have to replace them more often...which is ok...because they are cheap and it forces you to check on the condition of your engine.
