Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
Well i dont really know the last time the plugs and wires on my car were changed so im gonna change them. Are there any suggestions as to upraded plugs and wires? I know they dont make a whole lot of difference but i believe in buying the best you can put in a car so barring anything crazy what are the best plugs and wires i can get for my 93 camry v6?

Hard to beat the OEM wires. If you want blue instead of the basic black, the NGK wireset seems to be well thought of. No personal experience with them, 'tho.
The NGK Iridium IX plugs give a lot of bang for the buck (reasonably inexpensive through Amazon), although the platinum-tipped Densos (equivalent to OEM) are perfectly OK too.
While you're there, might as well change out the distributor cap and rotor -- those contacts will degrade over time. Go OEM for those -- the caps on a lot of the aftermarket stuff tends to crack early, and that's a bitch to troubleshoot.
BTW, since you're in Indianapolis, Town & Country Toyota (Charlotte, NC) is reasonably close, shipping-wise, and they usually beat the local stealerships by a large margin on OEM parts pricing. Looks like they're running their $4.99 shipping special until the 28th.

does the 1mz engines have distributor cap and rotor and rotor contacts as well?
what would i get for mine I've always been confused and as for the wires I've heard bigger isn't always better? Are they any performance gains from the oem spark plugs an wires to the NGK Iridium IX with the ngk wires
It might also be interesting to note that NGK has made a lot of spark plugs for Denso (typical Toyota OEM supplier). However, many times, NGK are the OEM plugs in Toyotas. So in a lot of ways, I wouldn't differentiate NGK from Toyota OEM.
NGK had to provide Denso several variants of the iridium plugs when Denso initially was marketing them, because Denso was having manufacturing problems. And Denso doesn't make all the products they brand - NGK does do some long term manufacturing for Denso.
That explains it. I personally always figured that Denso sucked.
Yeah, OP should use NGK Iridium-IX and NGK spark plug wires. IMO they're just better.
