Why are spark plug wires for DOHC S13s so expensive? :(

Do the ones for DOHC S13s need to be made with platinum wire cores or something? I was looking for a set of NGK wires and while the ones for SOHCs and S14s pop up for as low as $30-50, the S13 DOHC ones are always like $70. What gives?

s13 dohc have the coil wire. I have used a s14 wire set before on my car. I just kept the old coil wire.

Also factor in the deep plastic mix plugboot.

When you go to order wires next time get a set for an S14 just ask if it comes with the coil wire. I get the Accel 8.5mm usually from Summit or the like for around $50 and it always comes with the coil wire, I just throw it away.
