This set however comes with the OEM style plug ends, but you are right there is a big difference in price. The 8.5mm set that they sell is $50.00 cheaper.
I posted this before, but will repeat it as you brought it up.
When I installed the Magnecor's originally, I 'thought' I had them on tight, and had no issues.
However, a couple of months ago, I installed my black crinkle painted valve covers, and while I had the covers off, I checked them again.
EVERY ONE of them needed seating. ( it's easy to do when you have the valve covers off. )
I'd even recommend removing the covers to do any plug / wire change, it's so much easier and you can be sure it's done correctly as you finally have good access.
