spark plug suggestions?

Going to do tune up. Sometimes I read that oem (NKG?) plugs are the only way to go. Is this true for Camry's or will any good spark plugs do? Also wondering about wires and dist cap. Thanks

NGK are the best out there by miles. Go for these as they are orginal equipment.

I would say NGK's pr Denso's. As far as distributor cap, rotor and plug wires I would stick with OEM. Try one of the online advertisers that discount Toyota OEM parts.

NGK and Denso are the preferred brands, but I've had good experience with Autolite Pt. I would DEFINITELY stay away from Bosch Pt plugs and their variants. Their design has a non-adjustable gap.

Good thread..
Results are mixed on all plugs other than NGK and Denso.
