Why in the hell do you want to spend so much on spark plugs for a car that it isn't going to make a difference in? Go get some NGK platinums for $2.something a plug.

I have to call BS on this.
#1) NGK plugs come in a pack of four not six.
#2)There is no way you are going to get a $6.00+ Iridium plug at $1.67 (10 divided by 6)

That being said you could get the standard NGK V-Power plugs for around $1.60 or so each...
If your buying from EBay just remember to do research first and buyer beware. If the price looks to good to be true it more than likely is not what you want.

take a look again. the TR55IX is on the site for $6.18 EACH. Vpower coppers are $1.57 each when in 4 packs.

go for the factory plugs if you really want the ones that will work the best, ACDelco #41-928. as for wires, rock has a set of delco wires on closeout for $10. you'd be insane not to grab them.
