The 8.5's fit very well on the coil pack. No slipping off there. The boot doesn't seal very well, but I've had them on for 1500 miles now with no problem.

I've had mine (8.5mm) for 6k miles, no problems. Never slip, don't seal like against valvecover like stock, but that's the only thing I can say bad about them.

I've got the 8.5s... only issue is they do not snap down far enough to seal at the top of the valve cover.

Yeah mine are pretty snug on the coil pack but they are very loose in the valve cover.. This in my opinion is not acceptible and could possibly allow dirt/moisture to enter the engine.

I think alot of the Magnecor wires are like this. Meaning not fitting snug on the plug to valve cover. Alot of Acura/Honda guys had this situation.
