I would go with some bosch, but to me spark plugs are like gas. You have the regular and the high 92 octane. which one would you rather get. the one that would perform better. Personally i would just go with cheap to mid range ones.Its really up to you.

Having worked in the business for a long time, I 'd step up and get the NGK. We have cured more problems by removing Bosch plugs than any other brand.
There is a reason they are so cheap.

I have been considering changing plugs/wires recently. But not sure exactly what benefits they will give to the car.

What can they really do?

sorry for btw
