4th Generation Need recommendations on spark plug and spark plug wires.

What kind of spark plugs would be best on a Gen4 1997 Camry LE V6. It's at almost 120k miles and I don't quite remember the last time I switched them out.

I've heard about the Denso Iridium plugs, are they better then the double platinum ones?

Would I have to change spark plug wires as well? I know stock ones are still on. I've heard of the NGK Premium wire set.

NGK or denso are the way to go. i personally dont think the iridiums/platiums make enough of a difference to justify the price but its ultimately up to u. if buying the special fancy plugs makes you feel better and u got the coin then go 4 it.
