Not sure what Gen2s use, but go with NGK wires from www.sparkplugs.com if you can, there is a 1MZ set for like 37 dollars.

Anwagbo,

The GenII's come from the factory with Iridium plugs which are scheduled to be changed at 100,000 miles. Just install what your owners manual recommends and you should be good to go for another 100,000.

Your wires may not need replacement. You can check them to see if resistance is within spec and if so don't bother getting rid of them. If you're just changing them out of an abundance of caution then there's nothing wrong with the OEM wires. Just don't cheap out with some kind of 'universal' wire. This is one of those cases where you'll get what you pay for.

Cheers
