Default 99 SSEI Spark plugs and Cables

Bosh plugs and Bosh spark plug cables. Should I go with them or which kind would you all recommend for my 95 thousand miles bonne.

Thanks everyone.

Stay away from Bosch if you can. Something about them and domestic cars, unless you go REALLY high end Bosch

Stick with AC Delco or NGK Iridium plugs, Taylor wire seem to get a big thumbs up around here. Personally, I stuck with AD Delco wires on my 89 and it was fine

Personally, I think Bosch is over-rated. If you want hi-perf, I'd say the NGK Iridium coupled with the Taylor wires, say, 8.5mm, IMO.

With the SSEi, stay away from Platinum plugs, Bosch in particular. I speak from bad experience. I run the NGK TR55 V-power plugs with the 8.5mm Taylor Spiro Pro wires. Great combination, especially with the MSD coils. Gap to 0.060". My last set of plugs was pregapped to only 0.055".

Uh-oh...I didn't check the gap last time I put 'em in...my Saturn. I'll keep that in mind when I get 'round to putting them in my Bonnie.

Bosch sucks, I wouldn't recommend them. Personally NGK have worked well for me.
