just go N.G.K.'s....er' stock ( except for champions) unless your engine is well equipped w/ boost (turbo) or nitrous, then go ahead and get that fancy spark plugs. but for stocks n/a engine, any plugs are good too go.

Go with plats. Dual will give you more spark but bigger wires would be even better. So for stock engine I'd say go with the platinums and if you get bigger wires then go with the plat 2's. I'd say screw it if I had the extra $ and get nology wires and plugs

agreed. if you are keeping your car stock or lightly modded, getting uber expensive plugs and wires are a complete waste of money. now if you are going FI, then yes, replacing them with uber expensive plugs and wires is a good thing to do.
