It's all in the FSM, but if you're going stock plugs, then you'll need 2 x NGK bur7eq and 2 x NGK bur9eq.

It's easier to change the plugs from the bottom of the car if that helps.

Check the stickies at the top of this section under 'S' for spark plugs. If your still pretty stock, I'd stay with the NGKs and stock heat ranges. Depending on mods, some here run a bit colder plug. Personally I put my car up in the air and changed them from the bottom without too much problem. Just be sure to use little anti-seize.
Lots of good info in those stickies.

On this particular car, be sure to do one plug at a time. You do not want to mix up the trailing and the leading plugs and plug wires.

ok i looked at the thing of how to do it and thats crazy to take all that apart.... but if i go from under the car will it be easyer?

You shouldn't need to take anything apart either way, just reach down there and pull off the plug wires, then unscrew them. It's about as basic as it gets, you'll be able to figure it out if you just start doing it.

jack the drivers side up and go from under....
one plug at a time.
if you change the wires, things will have to come off! TB, elbow, and anything else you may find in the way there.

Ditto. If you have small hands and work overhead..you can replace plugs w/o removing the IC piping, TB, etc (as a few How-To's say). Of course you can remove these neighboring parts to learn around the area you'll be working at but removing the parts only gives you more clearance to manuever around. I never removed from under the car so I wouldn't know..but I heard it's even easier. Regardless which way, shouldn't take longer than 20-30 minutes or so.

Asking questions like that make me want to say “take it to your mechanic” if not you’ll be in the middle of it and run into a problem and not know what to do.

BTW the auto parts place can look our car up in the computer if you get there and can’t remember the plug #’s

You better find a mechanic.

Wow, even better than what I paid at Advanced Auto parts. Regardless, "get 'er done" and change 'dem plugs!

remember, top=trailing lower=leading

Underneath is so much easier to get to them(20 min. job, and easier on your back). You can see all 4 thru the lower sub frame. Definitely do 1 at a time and go easy on the plug wire boots.

I agree, it's a simple job and you should be able to do it yourself. Hey, I'm far from being a mechanic, but I did it. So why don't you make the effort? Read the stickies already! Do a search. Maybe then you can stop asking questions like
"are these the plugs I need or what?"

Did they quit teaching auto shop and reading comprehension in schools? Your owner's manual should contain all the info you need. A few months ago, someone wrote a very detailed writeup of this very basic process, you seem like you might appreciate it.

Don't forget to wash your hands and clean up your garage when you're done.
