3rd Generation Change spark plug wires?

Hi people,

I have a 95 Camry V6 LE. Next month I'll be getting the 60,000 mile tune up. I'll be putting in NGK plugs. Should I also change the stock plug wires to the NGK wires for performance wise or just leave the wires as is? Thanks for all your advise.

Well, you should change the wire if you are doing a tune-up and probably for this spark plug change because why use a tired wireset on new plugs, right? As far as NGK or OEM, it's pretty much the same. They both are reliable and neither is a bad buy, so it's all about your wallet.

That's right, if you have the 1MZ-FE engine then there is no distributor. It's a DIS (Distributorless Ignition Sytem). I think they use like 3 coil packs instead.

http://www.sparkplugs.com <- Cheapest place for NGK plug wires that I found. Wires looked the same as my OEM wires except the blue color. The regular wires will do, no need to get the "high performance" ones.
