Question Plug wires ... recommendations?

Heya all. I'll be replacing my plugs here in a few days and been thinking about replacing the the wires as well. Currious on what you all recommend as far as brands, etc.

First of all, how often / when should you replace them? I believe the ones on my car atm might be the originals, or perhaps replaced only once.

I was at NAPA picking up my plugs, NGK Plat's, and asked what the NGK wires run. He said they're 85 bucks. Anyone use these? Are they worth it?

fyi, I'm driving a 93 3vz with ~156k miles on her.

Most people say Denso Iridium is the best. That's what I recommend. Let's see what they think......

Denso, or NGK spark plugs only.

Don't change the plug wires, there isn't any point (unless you want a colored wire). If the OEM wires are not cracked AND grounding out enough to cause a spark jump, there is 100% no reason to change them out. (Unless you're running a huge shot of n2o, or forced induction and need all the spark help you can get!!)


I new wires just don't do anything constructive. It's a total waste of $100-$250. Hey... Your money, your call.

Iridiums will last a long time. If you wants a nice blue color, get NGK spark wires. They are around $70, won't do anything in terms of performance.
