I tried the E3s in mine a while back. I really could tell a difference. But then, it started throwing misfire codes. I went back to the stock ones and have not missed a beat. Think about it. What gains will you really see? If it was a true performance engine...maybe. Besides that, how many miles you got on yours to be thinkin about wires?

After messing around with plugs when I had a lean condition with my first tuner, I have since went with the Bosch Platinum4s. Primary reason was better cold weather performance although they make no difference when you reach operating temperature. They stay clean, and I haven't had any issues.
As for wires, I run Taylors, always worked for me although I wouldn't imagine that any of them will make a difference.
If I'm wrenching on my own vehicle, I'm not putting stock stuff back on.
Sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you. Never had a problem with anything from Bosch, and never a problem from Taylor. Then as a bonus, Summit Racing is practically in my backyard and a customer.

I'm not a believer in sticking with factory plugs as being the best. Everyone has their own opinion, my opinion is any car manufacture is going to look for the best deal on plugs. They only have to last 36000 miles until your warranty is up (which is my understanding). So whoever will give them a 36k plug for all of their vehicles, for the lowest amount. 'wins'. Doesn't dictate the best in my book. When it comes time to change plugs in my JK, it will be nothing short of NGKs. Just like all of my vehicles now. Tried and true in my garage as my plug of choice.
