Spark Plugs

Sup folks, I was wanting to change my spark plugs to aftermarket plugs. Does anyone have any suggestions or good experiences witha certain brand. Also what do you think the best brand of spark plugs are?

100K miles...

The book says you shouldn't need to replace the spark plugs for 100-105K miles. You might start to notice some perfomance drop off before that, but not before 50k miles or so...

Someone would have to be "mod-happy" to want to go to the effort of changing spark plugs when they don't even have any particular type in mind to begin with??? It would be one thing if they were involved with racing or something and had felt the difference in our engine and now wants to do it to their car. But to change them just for the sake of change????

Whatever makes you feel good about your ride, I guess. Who am I to criticize... I'm just not that ambitious... no offense intended.
