97 es300 spark plugs.
I bought my 97 es about a year ago. Wen i checked the spark plugs today i noticed it has the cheap autolites and i dont like that lol. Wat kind of plugs do u guys think i should buy? I was thinkin about some NGK platinums. I can get them for $10 each. Also, any info on how to replace the rear plugs? Tnx.

Check your owners manual. Use either OE Denso or NGK plugs...not sure of the 97 were long life platinums or iridiums. But use OE only for reliable service.

plug change and right kind of plug
I have a 97 also and make sure you use double platinum ,I use Bosch but lot of people use NGK or DENSO, Yea autolite is probably the wrong choice there As far as getting to the rear plugs it's easier than people think WITHOUT removing the upper plenum I have posted pics and instructions myself on this forum about 2 months ago on this subject just type in plug change in search forum and you will see many posts on this

R the bosh plugs good? Everytime i go to the autoparts, they tell me that bosh isnt recommended on japanese cars. I know they r a little cheaper than NGK but im not sure i should buy bosh plugs.

I would contact Lexus directly or check e-bay for one...that should be a necessity.
Also go to www.sparkplugs.com, NGK or Denso (which are both OE which I highly suggest) websites for your correct application.

I don't know who came up with that you cannot use German Bosch plugs 
on japanesse cars they are great plugs that I use on my lexus for 40+k miles AND my Nissan350Z and they work great but NGK and denso are great plugs too it's your call your ride as far as the tools needed just click on my user name and you can see my post and pics of the tools needed
