Denso Iridium plugs, no question. like 20 for all 4. NGK wires are supposed to kick ***, however run around $75.

no, there are different size plugs. Take, for example, the idiot who sold me my new engine. he put the wrong plugs in it, they required the larger size socket, leaving no clearance to get the socket in there. Ended up having to take off the head and let a machine shop get it out for me. Only a 35 dollar mistake, but about 8 hours in labor on my part. so get the right size plugs.

Unless you have major upgrades on your car, spark plugs will only get you back power you have lost, I think there has been a discussion on this before, so you would get some really good results if you search.

I have Accel Thundersport wires (8mm) and Plat. plugs. wish I would of gotten NGK plugs, only heard good things about them.

Hope this helps........
