I did have a cut in one of the Dist. Cap plugs on the old set. and one came apart on the spark plug, the end that affixes to the spark plug, inside the metal boots came loose and stayed on the plug. So My wiring probably wasn't the best. I did have a slight miss that I don't hear now. My idle dropped a tish also. More like 750 RPM in park and just barely 600 in gear.
S-Class Guru,
I truly believe that mine were OEM and they are 23 years old, not really hard but the dist. caps rubbers were beginning to crack. I have to do the belts soon too.

So your idle smooth out too?
I haven't checked my exact idle control location
mine may have some down by itself too...
The specs on my car are 600 to 750
but I don't have the elec ICV so when I use the AC
or when the ehgine has been running a while the idle drops below 600
so I might have to turn it up a bit
My dis boots had some cracking on the rubber too
but they held up enough for me to take them off to install the new cap & rotor & I put them back on.
I;m thinking mine were original too 25 yo 196K
guess they were due...
Beru was almost double so I figured w my mileage either would last the duration as time will be the worst wear not mileage.
Rubber is rubber & its going to go before the core anyway
So I figured I could buy almost another new set with the savings.
Just don't want to really have bad inferior wires
Thought the bosch should least be up to running standard
They looked good
connectors were heavy duty
didn't look like a cheap wire set
but who knows what inside
Beru could have changed the core by now too.
