spark plugs/ wires help
alright i got my car back from the shop (i had got into a car accident a month ago) and i was thinking about changing the plugs and wires.
1. how many miles before changing plug/wires? (i have 55k on a 2004) 2. what are the best plugs for my mods? 3. what are the best wires for my mods?

if you want new wires it would only be beneficial if you upgraded your coil pack to a performance one too... and then gap the plugs correctly oh and plugs last between 30-50k if i remember correct maybe its only 15k... hell if i know i replaced mine when i got the car and intend on doing it this summer ... every 2 years for me

im gana try and find out exataly what it is about the accel coil that will make it not work, and if i can figer out a farly cheep way to get it to work, i may sell that as a kit. since the accel, is cheeper, and also supposedly little better coil.
