Question recommendations on plugs and wies for tuneup (116k miles)

hey guys,

as you can see from the subject line, i have 116 k miles and need to perform a tuneup. my last tune up was at 75k miles, i think i am a bit overdue.

i was wondering what plugs and cables you guys recommend, nothing too fancy since it's just a regular stock 2000 v6.

I was looking at autozone and the expensive Bosch Iridium Fusion / Spark Plug go for $7.99, is this overkill? The rest of them are here.

A set of Bosch / Wireset cables go for $40.99.

Thanks for your help,

ceez

Since you are running stock, I'd stick with factory Motorcraft parts for your tune up.
