Plugs I like Bosch copper or silver, but not platinum. Anything but Platinum. Or NGK. Spark plug cables I like Bosch too, but almost all my friends on Mye28.com revile them. But I've had good luck with them.

This has been discussed many times in the past. The only plugs I would use (and have been using) are the Bosch Silver plugs that are specified (I can't remember what their part number is). I have also tried Bosch Copper and they worked ok but I recall I had to change them at something like 10k miles. As mentioned do NOT use any of the many variations of Bosch platinum plugs (with the super thin center electrode). They are just trouble in our cars. Been there done that they don't work.

Regarding wires be careful since our cars seem sensitive to wires. I have been using a Bosch set for years. Before that I had various problems with no-name wires and also had problems with a set of Beru wires.
