I need to replace my spark plugs and wires and would like to know what are the best options out there and where to get them if possible.

Thanks

Spark plugs, use anything you want.
Plug wires, Magnecore, Kingsbourne or STI.
Google search for where to buy.

Champion (322) RN11YC4 is cheap, closest to OEM, and widely reported to work great.

The blue Standard ignition products wires are reasonable at around $50 a set and you can likely get them locally. The plugs suggested by LR are Champions regular copper. Many people say you are not supposed to use platinum plugs in a DI, I would say they are wrong since I have been running them with ZERO issues. I would NOT suggest any gimmick plug with more than 1 ground electrode. The laws of physics dictate the spark will jump to the path of least resistance, no more/no less.
