I have a 1996 2.2 automatic. It has 156,029 miles on it, and I plan to do some very basic mods like intake, catback, etc,. I was thinking about getting a set of NGK iridium spark plugs, but I'm thinking that might be too hot a spark for a high mileage car like mine, but I'm not sure. Or should I just stick with platinums?

waste of good money.
Get standard ACDelco's or at best AC Delco Platinums.
I have the PC plats in my gf's cav and they are nothing but awesome.
getting 39.8mpg on the highway and she has 125,000miles on the odometer.

I agree with BlazerLT, AC Delco Platinums are the best choice. And just a bit of inside info, the NGK Iridiums are just relabeled AC Delco Platinums, with 3 times the sticker price.

Platinums are your best bet. NGK's are for Imports. I always had good luck with NGK's in my Toyota's. Different strokes for different folks.

Go here and find what AC Delcos are for your car.

Note the GAP also.
Go to ebay and search for them there.
I bought 8 AC Delco Plat's for the cavalier for $20.
They idle awesome, the car is pretty powerful and the 40mpg can never be denied.
