Default Spark Plugs & Wires

Doing some work to my truck, and added spark plugs and wires to my list.

Wires I'm going with the Kingsborne set that was recommended.

The spark plugs, I was going to go with DiscoMike's recommendation of Bosch Platinum Plus 4's, but the Bosch site recommends the OEM Fine Wire Double Platinum.

Could anyone steer me in the right direction, including links to any sellers with a good price on them?

Thanks as always!

Bosch Platinum Plus 4's # 4418 or better yet try the E4's #48 for great low end torque and better mileage.

the +4's are great, but they're expensive and foul easily. I believe they are the best though.

As per Disco Mike, I went with STI in the 8mm and the E3-48, will install this weekend and report back. Disco Mike has never steered me in the wrong direction.

I went with the E3-48's, found them on Amazon for $5.95 each, and I am an Amazon Prime member, so free 2 day shipping. They'll be here on Friday.

Thanks all for the helpful advice!

I use NGK G-Power spark plugs and they work well.
