Default headers and spark plug wires

What are you all using to protect your spark plugs from headers on a LQ4?

I picked up a set of msd wires, you can bend them out of the way nicely. I am pretty happy with them.

Second on the MSD wires, once you bend them out of the way they stay there, no problems in 15k miles so far.

Agreed the MSD wires work great. If its a big concern I recommend buying some protective sleeves, but I've never had an issue running the MSD wires on mine.
