Default sparks/wires recommendation for gsr hatch!

idle is erratic...hopefully this upgrade will clean it up...

i know to stick with ngk stock sparks, even go with copper cuz it conducts better than platinum/iridium.
but what wires to use? what size and does brand matter?
also heard about upgrading cap/coils? please school me in on that!
thanks
andy

stock summito wires are the best.

beleive it or not stock wires are not ngk but summito wires.

stock wires have been proven to make more power than shitty magnacore, vitek or msd wires

ohh you're running a rechipped ecu. that's not going to help much. you'll just eventually foul out your new plugs like i did. i say go get it tuned.
