Question Spark Plugs!!!

I was looking into doing some simple upgrades can anyone point me in the right direction as far as it goes on plugs/wires and if upgrading these is even necessary or worth it for that matter?

stock coils, stock wires, and NGK TR55 plugs gapped at .055. That's the best combo I came up with from my search

Stock wires and coils are all you need, put your money some where else.. TR55's is what alot of us are running...

I think that the TR55 is now TR5...the V Power is the copper plug (my TR55's said V Power on the box IIRC), so TR5 should be correct...
