Spark plugs and wires

Hey, just curious, what brand of spark plugs and wires do you guys think is best for a '87 RX-7 turbo?


(BTW, I searched for like half an hour and never got less than 3000 results, and none of the first 20 had anything to do with what I was asking)

NGK stock type spark plugs are fine. platinums are a waste. you can find the NGK plugs at your locals auto parts store. as for wires? i don't have a preference on my car but i think any low resistance wire should do you ok.

Use NGK BUR7 in the leadings and 9 in the trailings.
If the spark plugs has "trailing" or "leading" , it doesn't matter . Use the same number for both leading and trailing. Higher numbers are colder plugs. If you putt putt around town without taking it to redline a few times, the 9's will foul.
