Lots of people have had problems with those wires, stick with OEM...
Get the correct 3-electrode Bosch F6DTC spark plugs. Distributor cap and rotor can be had from any internet WorldPac distributor much cheaper than dealer.

the dealer wants an arm and leg for the wires.
i was there today and they told me you cant buy them as a set 
( whats the part # for the plugs? best place to buy them? online or az, advance auto, napa, etc? buying parts from the dealer is hazzardous (sp?) to your health!

thanks!
$121.18 for a set of spark (bosch) plug wires, $3.08/spark plug, $18.68 for dis cap, $4.22 for dis rotor. so looks like $159.48 for everything. is there anything else to buy for a tune up?

Lots of people?
Define lots. I heard 2-3 complain on 20v.org, and then at least that many say they had good luck with them. I had good luck with both sets (KV85 and 8mm). The BIGGEST thing with the Magnacores is making sure they can't rub on things, as the silicone casing is a big fragile when compared to the 7mm vinyl covered wires.
