Not sure if you have done any mods to your car, if so you could use the 605, otherwise go with the stock heat range. sorry, don't have those numbers bu tif you ask for autolites for your car it will show up on there system.
$75 just to change plugs? Man, I need to start doing that. It'* not that hard, shoudl be between 30 and 60 mins. If you have a brace between the tops of your struts near the back of the engine, you can remove that (4 bolts) gives you a lot more room.

I just thought it might be fun to try this………..but ya, now I’m not sure. LOL
You want to take a trip to Illinois?
The shops are telling me that it is an hour job each, 1 hr for the plugs and 1 hr for the wires. I told them to stop lying to me.............he said he'd do it for $75.......I'm thinking of just doing it.
And doesn't Wal-Mart sell Autolite?.....worth looking into.........

I'd return the Bosch wires as well. That name hasn't had good luck with our cars. It was mainly due to bad O2 sensors but as a rule I think Bosch is bad. Many here use Belden wires that you can get from NAPA.

Ya, I wish I'd have read that last night...........guess what is in my car........Grrrr
It was taking a toll on my gas milage so it had to be done......
I do have to say, my car is driving a LOT better this morning.....Arms all scratched up......but driving better.
I can't stress enough how much of a help removing that rear bracket is. I hadn't seen a 00+ with the bracket in place in awhile until i saw MadMikes Sunday and it is entirely in the way. I just got new wires yesterday and without the brackets in the way i changed them in 15 minutes.
