Default Plug wires

In the past when changing plug wires I have always used dielectric grease in both ends to ease the install and to seal the moisture out. Is is still a good Idea with the C5 or has something changed?

I used it with mine, can't hurt! I noticed you replaced the stock wires right away! The stock wires are not very good IMO. You have a SWEET RIDE!

My factory plug/wires had the silicone grease, but I did not use it for the new wires/plugs.
