Default Recommended Spark Plugs for D1?

What plugs do you guys most recommend for a 1998 LR Discovery? I want to do it right. Also, will replacing plug wires be beneficial as well?

Champion copper spark plugs, thats what came in your truck from the factory and that is what she will run best on.
If you dont also replace the plug wires then you are only doing half the job.
Magnecor, Kingsborn or STI plug wires, anything else will not last.

I use whatever copper plug is on sale that is the Champion equivalent.
Champion, AC, Autolite, NGK, etc.
Never seen any performance difference.

Any recommendations on where to get Magnecor wires or are they now availalable as a set for LRs? I used to use them on a Merkur XR4Ti with a high boost 4 cyl turbo, but I had to buy a set for a V8 to get enough of the right lengths.

Thanks,

vince

Apex Performance, around $90 for the set of 8mm.

Apex definitely has the best price on Magnacore, but they are still overpriced IMO.
Kingsborne is my wire of choice for high quality 8mm.
