Question Spark Plug/Wires help?

Hi,
What type of spark plugs and wires should I get for my 95 Volvo 850? I was looking at NGK wires and bosch copper plugs, are these ok?
Thanks.

Default Stay away from Bosch

Study after study have shown that the purportred differences in spark plugs are marketing hype especially those novel elecrtrode shapes. Really cheap plugs are machined from inferior metal and as a result if not changed frequently they tend to fuse with the hole threads and are likely to strip when you try to remove them.

Most eveyone I know from BMW forums all bitch about Bosch Plugs not so much because of bad performance but from outright failure e.g cracked ceramic etc.

I used $1.50 a piece Autolites from Autozone in my 850 and they worked great.
