its not needed but it wouldnt hurt. if it were me, i'd prolly change it all just to be safe and it'll be easier to keep a record of aswell.

if your budget allows id do it. if you do it all now its less times you have to dig around in there in the future.

I hated my MSD wires the were tarable they lasted on the car for 4 days before I replaced them with Accel thundersport+300's and they are 3 years old and great. They pulled apart and i had a miss with them(it was probably just my luck though). I would stay to the stock plugs unless you are boosted or run high HP numbers otherwise there is no point it will just hurt you in the long run our motors rely on a proper heat and with nothing to bring that heat higher than stock why cool it down. Also I like my Accel wires but my Nology wires on my DSM are god but they cost. Also NGK has really good wire for your application which would suit you great. I would do it all at the same time also do a fuel filter while your at it. Good luck.
