I went with factory nissan plugs cost me about $300 with the plenum gasket. I'm not sure who makes the plugs for nissan but they work well for me, better mpg plus performance.

They do work, just not as long of life. They are a high energy plug which is great, but like I said, they do not last.

When you say they don't last as long, what should I expect?

Use the OEM plugs. I just changed mine after 90,000 miles. I don't know how many miles on your car but let me say that the 3 rear plugs are a ***** to get to.

10-15K miles. Stock plugs should last at least 50-75K.

You shouldn't need to replace your coils unless they go bad I could be wrong but definatly not the same setup as plug wires, plus they are big money to replace like $80 each x 6 comes out to $480 plus labor.
