Default before i do a tune-up

we have here an autozone and a new advanced auto parts store.

which brands for spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor, wires, would be the closest to OEM?
not looking for the expensive "performance" ones, just as close to OEM as possible.

i have a limited warranty on double silicone wires from autozone, are these any good or should i buy different set? thanks.

It doesn't get any closer to OEM than buying those parts OEM from the dealer. Especially the wires, there are a lot of really lousy aftermarket ones. The cap and rotor don't cost much more at a dealer. The wires do, but there's a reason.

i'm using the advance auto parts spark plug wires (least expensive ones that advance sells) and they work just fine.

Thanks for the link and info. But what about cap and rotor? What's a good brand if I don't go OEM?

And is there really a noticable difference in wires from OEM to say advanced auto/autozone cheap ones?
