Default What spark plugs are best for a 98 Disco V8?

I call the dealer and they say that out cars use CHAMPION from the factory but are $12 a piece which is out of control, so what else works just the same? Also, does it have to be some special spark plug wires or can I just pick some up from Napa?

Magnecore 8mms for the wires and Bosch Platinum +4 plugs. That's what DiscoMike recommends so it's good enough for me

You'll want to run magnecor 8mm wires. You probably won't find those at Napa.

As far as plugs, I use Bosch Platinum +4's

So the BOSCH 4 prongs are the best for our cars, where do I get those wires from? Any comparable stuff from NAPA, AUTOZONE or ADVANCED AUTO for the wires? These are the plugs I should use for my car?

for the wires? But those are the spark plugs, right? How about the BOSCH IRIDIUMs, or should I just stick with the +4's?

Yes you can buy those plugs anywhere.
Iridium or otherwise.
You can buy the Champions at the autoparts store for about $2 each, the dealer has a huge mark up.
