okay so I'm internetless. Stuck doing this from my palm. so I'm doing my tune up. I'm curious which are better quality parts. Bosch spark Plug's and wires OR Megnecor plug wires and denso iridium plugs? also if there are other brands that would be better than these please let me know. I'd search but it would take me forever to since I'm surfing web on my palm lol.

I have heard that Toyota's don't like bosch parts...I could be wrong. I have never tried any of them for that reason. I personally am running 6 Denso IK20's in my N/A V6 with 162k miles and not a problem. As for wires, I would say Magnecore if you have deep pockets, but if you want to get decent wires for a good price go with NGK blue wires from www.sparkplugs.com, they were about 30 bucks and I've been running them for about 20k miles without a problem.

toyotas run well on denso or ngk, alll others dont run as well. Bosch are made for german cars and should not be in our toyotas.

Bosch wires are fine. I dont know about the plugs though.

so ive had the bosch plat 4s in for about 20,000 whitch ones do you think would be best donso or ngk and would there be any noticable difference between those and the bosch? I do have to admit that i bought them without knowing anything about my solara and i just wanted the best so tell me what you think the best plugs for our cars are trd4life.

honestly ive had my car for a year and a half and ive used ngk, the wires ive used were duralast and now the ngk blue wires, which ironically sometimes vibrates my engine

oh and i paid 40 not 30 for the wires

haha... i had the same issue's like you guys or girls, read your timing belt cover (on the side) it says use ONLY ngk/denso iridium spark plugs, i think it even says the part number, this applies for 4cyl. and V6, denso are perfect, ngk are just cheaper (i always saw it that way), o yea DON'T GAP, they come pre gap i run everything by NGK.. bosch are low quality just like BMW, japan is Number 1, Denso Denso Denso.. lol
